Revamp of Ballycommon centre site revealed
Ballycommon Organisation for Local Development (BOLD) recently unveiled its latest site enhancement works at Ballycommon Telework and Training Centre.
The local organisation has been involved in numerous community projects over the past 24 years. This latest project has greatly enhanced the original site, comprising of drainage and laying of tar and chip together with soft landscaping, including seven flower boxes at the front, a picnic area and flower beds at the side of the building.
A first-class job was carried out by local company, MacDe Construction and the many flowers and shrubs were also locally sourced from Annette at Daingean Nursery. The committee would like to acknowledge all the hard work of Committee member Mary O’Connor who undertook the project from beginning to end. Without Mary’s commitment this project would not have been successfully completed.
