A series of Town Centre Health Checks are taking place in three areas across Clare from today.

Clare County Council's Town Centre First Department has commissioned Queen’s University Belfast to undertake the initiative, which is aimed at providing useful baseline information for Tulla, Lisdoonvarna and Clarecastle.

Drop-in consultations sessions are taking place at Tulla Courthouse between 5.30 and 7.30 this evening, with events at The Ritz Hotel in Lisdoonvarna tomorrow from noon until 2pm, and in Clarecastle National School Hall from 5.30-7.30 tomorrow evening.

Town Regeneration Officer for Clare County Council, Joan Tarmey says its an oppotunity for people outlines their views on both physical elements and social aspects of their area.
