Long awaited repairs to footpaths in Offaly town welcomed

INDEPENDENT councillor, Sean O' Brien, has welcomed the repairs to footpaths in Whitehall, Tullamore which  were much overdue after being neglected by previous councils.

"I am glad to welcome repairs to footpaths  in Whitehall Estate which were badly needed as no work was done in this estate between 2014 and 2019,” he said.

Cllr O'Brien added: “  When I was elected to the council in 2019 I proposed that a budget be allocated for these works at a number of meetings and I was delighted that this budget was eventually allocated.    Clearly having a local councillor is important as other councillors focussed on their own areas.”

“I am delighted that we are getting our fair share of the budget and I look forward to seeing the  remaining work completed.    I would like to compliment our engineering staff and all the council workers on the high quality of the work so far completed," stated Cllr O' Brien.
