Fine Gael Castlebar Town Councillor and Mayor of Castlebar, Ger Deere, has raised concerns over some safety issues regarding aspects of the New Bridge constructed as part of the new link Road from Newport Rd to the westport Rd.
Cllr Deere said: “While in General the new Bridge is of the Highest standards i have serious concerns over the quality and safety of the mesh railing along the side of the Bridge. I have contacted the Town Manager an asked him to examine the possibility of strengthening and also making the railings less assessable for people to climb up on to.”
The Mayor added that he hoped that before the Bridge is opened in a few weeks the nessary changes and concerns that he and indeed members of the Public have highlighted be addressed as a a matter of urgency.
