The provision of an outdoor purpose built running track in Longford has taken a major step forward.
Longford Athletic Club have applied for the construction of a 8 lane 400 metre track at their centre in St Mel's College.
Plans include the International Association of Athletics Federations approved synthetic track, ancillary surface sports facilities and a grass infield area.
It's envisioned that the infield area will be used for multiple field sports and training, with the amenity also set to be lit.
The site is already home to an indoor athletic centre of excellence opened last year.
County planners will decide on the issue in March.
