A decision on a new 400-metre running track in Roscommon town has been delayed. The applicants Lisnamult Community Enterprise CLG have requested further time to provide information requested by county planners. Roscommon County Council received the application on September 1st of last year and a decision was due on Tuesday.
The development includes an athletic field incorporating the eight-lane running track with perimeter fence, six 18-metre high floodlights and four 15-metre floodlights at Lisnamult. According to planning documents, the track would have an approximate area of 177 metres by 92.5 metres with a grass field in the middle which would double as a full-sized soccer pitch. The council had previously requested further information on the proposal on October 26th and this was received last month. A decision on the development is now on hold.
