Reminder - Mid Ulster District Council is inviting residents to have their say on the Council's Corporate Improvement Objectives for the incoming year. The questionnaire is available online until Friday 25 April 2025 (12 noon) and can be completed at
https://www.midulstercouncil.org/your-council/performance/corporate-improvement-plan-objectives/corporate-improvement-objectives-consultation-2025

The Council is inviting residents to have their say on its Corporate Improvement Objectives for the year ahead - we'd like to hear your views on the proposed objectives we've set.

Chair of the Council’s Policy and Resource Committee, Councillor Malachy Quinn, is encouraging residents to take part in the consultation, saying:

“For 2025 to 2026, we have identified three key objectives that we believe will make a real difference to our district. First, we want to enhance the customer experience by embedding a culture that puts residents at the heart of how our services are accessed. Second, we aim to provide diverse and inclusive opportunities for children and young people to develop skills, stay active, and participate in their communities. Finally, we are committed to reducing Council’s carbon emissions through our sustainability strategy and climate action plan.

“We want to hear from residents about whether these priorities reflect what matters most to them. Your feedback is essential in helping us shape services that truly meet the needs of the community. The consultation is open until Friday 25 April at 12 noon, and I would encourage everyone to take part."

Hill of The O’Neill & Ranfurly House

Step inside the old Belfast Bank in Dungannon, now transformed into Ranfurly Arts and Visitor Centre, and you stand not just in a beautifully renovated Victorian centrepiece at the heart of the town, but also at the threshold of one of the most ancient sites in Ulster – The Hill of The O’Neill.

Ranfurly House has a multi-media exhibition narrating the Hill’s importance in Irish and European history, its links to the O’Neill clan and the subsequent Flight of the Earls and Plantation of Ulster.

You can take a tour of the exhibition space on your own or with an experienced guide when you’ll hear tales of the skeletons found on the Hill during a major excavation in 2010, the escape tunnels leading from the O’Neill castle which snake underneath Dungannon town, and the well which served as a hiding place for the inhabitants of the Hill during many sieges.
