This weeks announcement of £2.82 million funding for a new Recreation Centre at Camlough Lake has been welcomed by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Michael Savage.
Camlough Lake is one of 10 projects across NI which have been allocated more than £71m from the UK government’s Levelling Up Fund, a regional development plan to create jobs and boost the economy.
Cllr Savage said, “This exciting development is a major boost to our plans for Camlough Lake. I look forward to seeing a first-class facility come to life at this stunning location and the resulting tourism benefits for the South Armagh and Newry area and wider district.”
Plans for the new leisure and recreation centre include an event space, toilet, showers, changing facilities, parking and enhanced access to the Lake with a slipway provision.
