County Sligo Heritage Plan 2007-2011

Sligo County Council in partnership with the Sligo Heritage Forum is currently implementing the County Sligo Heritage Plan 2007-2011, the second heritage plan for Sligo.  The new plan follows on from the successes of the first five year heritage plan which operated from 2002-2006.

Four strategic themes have been established to facilitate structured heritage development over the next five years.  These themes are:
  • Heritage information
  • Best practice in heritage conservation and management
  • Awareness and education
  • Promoting partnerships and participation
The Plan sets out 63 actions to be delivered within a five year period to support the implementation of the strategic themes.  Implementation of the Plan will be overseen by the Heritage Forum with appropriate working groups and will be supported and co-ordinated by the Heritage Office.  The Plan is funded by Sligo County Council in partnership with The Heritage Council.

The following actions will be undertaken during 2007.
  1. Habitat mapping of the Sligo and Environs Plan area
  2. Audit of traditional crafts and skills
  3. Historic graveyard survey
  4. Placenames survey
  5. Field Monument Advisor Scheme
  6. Information day for owner’s of heritage buildings
  7. Heritage access audit
  8. Heritage awareness survey
  9. Condition reports for Keelogues and Toomour Churches
  10. Launch of Sligo’s Natural Heritage poster
