My Department approved a proposal by Sligo Borough Council to refurbish up to 53 local authority owned houses in the Cranmore estate at an estimated cost of â¬445,000. Expenditure this year will be met from the â¬2 million allocation for regeneration.
So far, no proposal has been received from the Borough Council in relation to the improvement of privately owned houses in the estate. It will be a matter for the regeneration masterplanning process to determine the nature and extent of future refurbishment works in the Cranmore estate.
