The Community & Enterprise Directorate of Mayo County Council provides a range of new and innovative interventions and services within the Local Government system. The work of the Directorate broadened to include a range of various functions in 2002 and the importance of Community & Enterprise within the local Government system continues to developm and grow.
The Community & Enterprise Directorate services the County Development Board (CDB). In this regard, the 10-year Strategy for Economic, Social and Cultural Development of County Mayo was published in July 2002. The Implementation Plan, which accompanies the Strategy, sets out 320 actions covering a broad range of all facets of development in Mayo. Implementation Groups have been designed to co-ordinate the delivery of these actions.
The Directorate also makes submissions on a range of policy issues on behalf of Mayo CDB. In the last year, submissions have been made to the Spatial Planning Unit of the Department of the Environment and Local Government, the Strategic Rail Review and the National Crime Council, among others.
