Templemore Sports Complex needs to be transformed into an “exceptional” tourist/leisure attraction, according to a local councillor.
Templemore Sports Complex
Shantallow Sinn Féin Cllr Elisha McCallion has called on all those to be consulted about the development of the facility to ensure that their voice was heard .
Cllr McCallion said: “The centre is set to receive an upgrade and as a city we must aim high and demand a top of the range tourist/ leisure attraction at the Templemore site.
“There is an opportunity to achieve something exceptional here and it requires a combined effort from all involved.
“There will be a consultation with stakeholders and the public coming up and I would hope that everyone will be together in demanding that Templemore Sports Complex gets more than just a facelift or basic new build. It should be much, much more.”
Cllr McCallion concluded: “I and my party have worked tirelessly for this. It is a key strategic objective to deliver on for the people of the city. Now there is a real chance that Templemore could become one of the best leisure and sports facilities in Ireland.”
The plan should be to transform Templemore Sports Complex into a regional facility. This means that those from Donegal, Strabane and further afield would look to travel to it, as my wish is to see it as a major tourist attraction. The aim is to attract as many people as possible by ensuring the facilities there are state of the art.
Derry City Council has already pledged £17million for the development and now what is needed is a huge push from all those with an interest, whether it be specified stakeholders or the wider public to demand the best.
