Those are some of the findings of the Draft Local Economic and Community Plan for the county.
Mental health services, public transport and sustainability grants are among the priorities for communities and stakeholders in Westmeath.
The findings are included in the county's Draft Local Economic and Community Plan, which will serve up until 2028.
The local authority held a series of workshops, asking people to submit their priorities for developing services in the county.
Councillor and Independent Local Election Candidate, Mick Dollard, was among those pushing for the plan to be implemented, and says education in Mullingar has to be invested in:
