The Community Involvement Scheme (CIS) is a joint approach between the Council and local communities, for the purpose of carrying out maintenance and improvement works on suitable local and regional roads.

 The Scheme, which is funded by the Department of Transport, is currently based on a minimum community contribution of either 8% or 20% for eligible works, including general maintenance, drainage works, pavement works and footpaths, based on the criteria below:

 Where the local community contribution is monetary a minimum contribution rate of 8% will apply;

• Where the local community contribution comprises works the minimum contribution rate will be 20%;

 The terms and conditions of the Scheme apply until further notice and are subject to review by the Department of Transport.

 In September 2025 Roscommon County Council advertised for Expressions of Interest from householders and landowners on local and regional roads who wished to participate in the Community Involvement Scheme for the years 2026 and 2027. The closing date for receipt of applications was Tuesday 23 September 2025.

 The Scheme is not currently open to new applications.  However, any enquires on the Scheme may be emailed to roads@roscommoncoco.ie
