Newmarket on Fergus Community Forum Closure
Over the past year, we have continued to work on the retention of a medical practice in Newmarket on Fergus town centre as well as representing the interests of Newmarket with the Co Council and other organisations whose actions impact Newmarket
We informed the AGM on Monday that we feel we have exhausted all avenues in pursuit of retention of a medical practice in Newmarket -on-Fergus . We regret that we have not had greater success in retaining a Newmarket based practice but the Forum recognises that in the current environment where there is a shortage of medical practitioners that we are fortunate to have access to Saffron and Blue Medical Practice
We welcomed the presence of Cllr David Griffin and former Cllr Pat Mc Mahon at our meeting on Monday and we know that the interests of Newmarket will continue to be well represented.
The Forum has been in existence since Spring of 2020 and the present committee believe that this is an appropriate time to finish the work of the present group.
Thank you to all the community for your support over the past four years, we have really appreciated it . Thanks to current and former members of the forum and thanks to all organisations within Newmarket who have supported the work of the Forum. We would like to particularly thank the Community Hall for the use of their premises and Obair for their support in producing a Development Plan, Town Plan and submission to the County Development Plan
Thank you
Newmarket on Fergus Community Forum Committee 2020-2024
