Community Council

Clonbur has had a Community Council for a long time and like every organisation there have been peaks and troughs of activity. The current committee is very aware of the work that has gone into community activities in the past and takes this opportunity to acknowledge and thank people for their vision and voluntary work which has helped to create Clonbur as a wonderful place to live and a great place to visit.

The current committee came together in 2012/2013 and is constantly working hard to put Clonbur on the map, to improve infrastructure and generally make Clonbur a cleaner, more attractive place. This culminated in winning the All Ireland Pride of Place award in 2016. However we are not finished yet!

You can help us to do this by helping us create a skills bank (have you a particular talent, skill or experience) that will allow the committee to avail of your time for particular projects? Or can you volunteer to come on the Community Council to help drive the work on an on-going basis? Clonbur Community Council will always need volunteers. We salute the spirit of volunteerism in the past and welcome new energy, innovative ideas and commitment into the future.

While the full Community Council meets at least four times a year much of the on going work is conducted at sub-committee level. These sub-groups are listed below, with other people/groups welcome and indeed encouraged to join:
