Kavanagh welcomes additional parking spaces at Letterkenny Bernard McGlinchey Town Park
"This is badly needed as the town park has become more and more popular"
Fine Gael councillor Jimmy Kavanagh has welcomed the additional parking spaces at the Bernard McGlinchey Town Park in Letterkenny which has now been completed and will be ready for use in the coming days.
He proposed a motion at the March meeting of the Lettekrenny-Milford Municipal District asking that the council provide further parking at the popular venue.
The council indicated that the grass area adjacent to the existing car park could provide overflow parking during good weather in the summer and that they were trying to identify additional funding to surface the area to provide all-year-round parking.
Cllr Kavanagh explained that money has since been provided from Minor Tourism funds and the area has now been resurfaced and will provide additional all-year-round parking.
"This is badly needed as the town park has become more and more popular and with further facilities planned at the Vestry and at the new adventure park area, the extra parking is very welcome."
He thanked the council for getting this work completed in a timely fashion and acknowledged the year-long commitment that the town gardener and his team give to keeping the park in pristine condition and making it such an attractive facility for locals and visitors to enjoy.
