Following on from European Mobility Week which took place this week Mayo County Council with the support of the Department of Environment, Heritage, and Local Government, is introducing the provision of bicycle racks in Ballina, Castlebar, and Westport to promote the use of bicycles as a sustainable and environmentally friendly mode of transport. A pilot rural transport initiative will be introduced from November to February in isolated rural communities to local centres of population in the Belmullet/Achill areas, and there will also be a public awareness initiative promoting the proper use of pedestrian footpaths and disabled parking spaces in the county.
