Dromineer to Ballina lakeside greenway proposal will be 'great for everyone'

A proposal by Tipperary County Council to develop a walking and cycling greenway linking the lakeside locations of Ballina and Dromineer has been given an enthusiastic welcome by a local councillor.

The plan was published last week by the council, and, in addition to linking the main centres, it is envisaged that it will improve accessibility to other local attractions.

“It is fantastic news,” said Ballina-based Cllr Phyll Bugler. “I am delighted with it.”

She said that the proposal would be great for everyone and would boost tourism.

“I urge everyone to make a submission,” she said.

The council has opened a public consultation forum on the proposed 24km greenway. The consultation will remain open until September 22

The study area map and scheme brochure are now available for inspection at Nenagh Civic Offices, Limerick Road, Nenagh; Killaloe Public Library, or www.loughderggreenway.ie

The documents may be inspected during office hours, 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday until Monday, September 19.
