The deadline for people to submit their views on plans for a new 24-unit social housing development in Arcadia, Athlone, is next Tuesday (February 2).

This is the second phase of Westmeath County Council's social housing development in Arcadia, following last year's completion of 33 units at Esker Park.

The new estate, which will be known as 'Greally Park', will be located on a 6,492 square-metre site, adjacent to Esker Park and Ashdale.

One of the completed housing units at Esker Park, Arcadia, the first phase of the council's social housing development in the area.

Greally Park is due to consist of eleven two-bedroom houses and a two/three storey block which would contain nine apartments and four two-bedroom duplexes.

The plans are currently available for viewing online, as part of the county council's Part 8 planning process, and public submissions or observations on the project must be made by 4pm on February 2.
