Long since sick of all the “close ones” along these few kilometres when there’s such imbalanced spending elsewhere!
…all because it’s on the edge of two Council areas 😡; no one can see the bigger picture that people from Castlebar work in Ballina, people in Ballina work in Castlebar…🛣️ everyone needs this…& it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg!
In today’s episode of “Reeling in the years” - We look back on 1997 (yes; NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN!) when after sustained lobbying by Frank and Johnny Devanney Mayo.ie agreed to realign the death trap stretch of road that nearly three decades later is still the same! 🕸️ 🐌
“A death-trap roadway at Lahardane is to be upgraded. Mayo County Council have agreed to carry out the realignment and reconstruction of the dangerous stretch.
The work will involve the provision of a new bridge over Castlehill River. The proposal is to provide a proper regional road to the required design standard”
