Piltown
Community Enterprise
30 + YEARS OF COMMITMENT TO PILTOWN
Supporting business and encouraging start-ups
It all began.....
With a derelict site in the center of Piltown village…..
And now…..
THE OLD CREAMERY ENTERPRISE CENTRE
was completed at the end of February 2019.
This consists of a further 2,580 sq. ft for the creation of jobs in our locality.
This Phase of the project is now complete.
We now have five units of various sizes which are designed to assist the development
of business start-ups and employment growth in our area.
Current Projects
Old Creamery Enterprise centre
THE OLD CREAMERY ENTERPRISE CENTRE was completed in February 2019. This consists of 5,580 sq. ft for the creation of jobs in our locality. We now have five occupied units of various sizes which were designed to assist the development of business start-ups and growth in our area
Facilitated Projects
Over the years we have facilitated other projects and worked with other organisations to the benefit to the parish.
We are currently working with these three projects
PIL RIVER PARK
Our beautiful Park and Playground is a welcome addition to the village and a perfect meeting point for many families within the area and beyond. We are delighted this overdue amenity is being enjoyed by so many.
To continue with this success and the future upkeep of the Park, we hope to have family fundraising events during the year and would love if there are any parents, grandparents, or anyone who has a few spare hours and would be happy to help out with these events.
If interested, please send us a message or alternatively contact one of our committee members we would love to hear from you.
Community Support has been a major part of this project. Our big event ‘The OsKars’ is still very much in the pipeline and will go ahead as soon as it is safe for us all to come together.
A positive sign of our community moving forward again.
TOWN AND VILLAGE RENEWAL COWORKING HUB
We are currently researching a flexible, professional working environment for a Coworking centre in Piltown. The Hub would provide a flexible, professional working environment for up to 20 people, with flexible desks, designated desks, and private offices. Serviced with high speed broadband, postal address and 24/7 access it will provide an ideal location for start-ups or established businesses looking for an office space in the South-East.
It will also offer modern, bright meeting rooms with stunning views and amenities. If you would like to register your interest in the project you can do so by completing our contact form.
Super-fast full-fibre broadband.
B4OC is a voluntary group who have been working hard to design and build a community-owned full-fibre-to-the-home broadband network for Piltown and Fiddown.
Piltown is now connected to the national fibre-optic grid. This will provide the village with its own gigabit connection where a bespoke Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network can be built.
Currently the first customers in phase 1 (Ardclone) are being connected.
Once the network has been validated and commissioned the first customers should be experiencing next generation broadband. Then the fibre will be rolled out to Phase 2 (Creamery Road) and Phase 3 (Tybroughney).
The success of this project so far has been achieved with help and support of local people but there is much more work ahead before the network is complete.
Please get in touch if you think you can help in any way.
