Thank you.Dymphna Nugent.Waterford News and Star, Tue 26th April 2022. Click on the image to read.
This is Tramore Train Station. An inclusive functional arts centre on the grounds of one of our finest landmarks,could be a community centre specifically to encourage arts practice and to provide facilities such as theatre space, gallery space, venues for musical performance, workshop areas, and educational facilities. A central Hub for all. The greatest form of art is to inspire. Allow us to be inspired!
Tramore Train Station. Construction began on 10 February 1853. Representing an important component of the mid-nineteenth-century built heritage of County Waterford. The building itself could be a museum that will embrace The railway's history and Tramore's great history all in one location. The grounds around: An inclusive arts centre that houses the town's community theatre. Creating a central hub. Providing a true sense of place!for all our citizens.
Let's embrace this iconic building 1853. It's on our doorstep. A theatre, arts centre, and educational centre on the grounds is a no brainer. Think about it! After our meeting on Thur.Cllr. Joe Kelly spoke to Dympahna Nugent of Waterford News & Star. To quote: “The railway station in my mind is a terrific location, Council executives have long been looking at the space in terms of usage and while inside the building would not be suitable, the grounds surrounding it would be ideal if the works were designed tastefully. The site is at the lower end of the town, meaning those travelling to use it can park nearby, can avoid hills, it is close to hotels, restaurants, the beach, public transport, it is ideal. The arts are very important, and I say that in my own life as well as in the interests of the public, this would be a very important addition to Tramore" Thank you, Mayor Joe Kelly.
Dymphna Nugent.Waterford News and Star.Fri April 22nd. Last night marked a very important step for a future theatre space in Tramore. A public meeting, chaired by James Power and Garrett Wyse, was attended by a large crowd of Tramore people- comprising business-people, politicians, stakeholders, and representatives from community groups. Serving as an information evening and a public think-tank, the meeting concluded with clear objectives for the project: to establish a board of directors and register as a Company Limited by Guarantee. Once done, this will pave the way for grant applications and Council support. Upstairs in the Victoria House, the room was filled with hope, frustration, and excitement as Tramore’s reputation as the ‘poor relation’ in the arts scene is set to changeBased on the enormous outpouring of support and interest, it has evolved into an artistic theatre space, with room for exhibitions, meetings, and community groups.“It’s great to see the arts community in Tramore get behind the campaign because their backing and support is crucial at this early stage. The people who will eventually use the theatre will be crucial in identifying the exact requirements for a space. We have a very strong summer tourism season in the town but an events space such as this will bring year-round business to our hotels, restaurants, and local economy with knock-on benefits to us all. I have supported this since I became a Councillor.”
After the meeting, Cllr. Joe Kelly spoke to the Waterford News & Star.“The railway station in my mind is a terrific location, Council executives have long been looking at the space in terms of usage and while inside the building would not be suitable, the grounds surrounding it would be ideal if the works were designed tastefully. The site is at the lower end of the town, meaning those travelling to use it can park nearby, can avoid hills, it is close to hotels, restaurants, the beach, public transport, it is ideal. The arts are very important, and I say that in my own life as well as in the interests of the public, this would be a very important addition to Tramore but it’s important that a board is established from the community because without it, it doesn’t truly represent the people of Tramore.”
