Ten subsidised serviced sites to be provided in MoateThe provision of 10 subsidised serviced sites for those wishing to build their own homes in Moate town was approved at the monthly meeting of Westmeath County Council and approved on the proposal of Cllr Vinny McCormack, seconded by Cllr Tom Farrell. However, Mr Kehoe stressed that developing private sites like these and putting them on the market is not a money maker, it costs money. “It is going to cost in the between €900,000 and €1 million to develop these sites and sale of the sites is unlikely to realise more than €500,000,” he explained. The proposal is to provided 10 subsidised serviced sites, to include provision of service road, wastewater, water, electrical cabling and amenity open space, at Killeenboylegan, Clara Road, Moate. After the sites are sold, but before any building starts, a road safety assessment will be carried out.
