Two years on since Carrignavar lobbied the council to have provision for a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for the village included in the County Development Plan, no progress has been made to date to help alleviate related issues within the village.

It’s been branded “a disgrace in the present circumstances where people are looking for houses”.
A key example of the pressure on services within the village can be seen in the development of the new primary school, for which, services from the old school will be transferred once complete, leaving the old school building without any such services.
