He is asking for people to send in their \u2018One Big Idea\u2019 via social media or post, after which he will select a winning one and commit to working on it over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Moore explains: \u201cAs I enter into my second year as an elected representative I want to really try and have community voices heard at council level and in doing so start a grassroots conversation on what matters to us as people. And I think there are so many people out there with something to say and really great ideas on how to make our county and communities better. Indeed, as the country moves out of lockdown, people have had time to reflect on what is important to their lives as well as look at their community in a new light and this is what I want to tap into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on inspiration from other parts of the country such as Limerick and Offaly, where his SocDem colleagues have successfully carried out similar initiatives Ronan\u2019s idea for Meath is different in one particular way.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Moore says: \u201cWhile it is \u2018One Big Idea\u2019, really I want three as I open up the initiative to primary school children; secondary school students; and adults. When I first became aware of this idea from my colleague in Limerick, it reminded me of a letter I received from a little girl in Longwood not long before last year\u2019s local election. In it she outlined her own ideas for making her village a safer, cleaner and better place to live in. It reminded me that when it comes to great ideas, age is not a factor. In fact, sometimes those who are younger can see solutions to age-old problems simply because they look at these challenges with fresh ideas. As a teacher I have been constantly reminded of this so I particularly look forward in seeing what is sent into me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To send in your \u201cOne Big Idea\u201d, you can email Ronan directly at <a href=\"mailto:ronan.moore@socialdemocrats.ie\">ronan.moore@socialdemocrats.ie<\/a> or post it to Cllr.
