The following questionnaire survey is being carried out by Mayo County Council, as part of the preparation of a Village Design Statement for Cong.

The aim of a Village Design Statement is to ensure future development is carried out so that it is in harmony with its setting and contributes to the conservation and where possible, enhancement, of the local environment.

It is intended to record your views on issues relating to your village in terms of:

-  the landscape setting of your village,

-  the shape of the settlement,

-  the nature of the buildings themselves,
