Crossmolina finally has a timeline in relation to long awaited delivery of a long-term flood relief solution on the River Deel. The local flood group recently met with representatives from the Office of Public Works and Mayo County Council where they were informed that a decision on the flood prevention option should be made by the end of August.
Options under consideration include the erection of large walls along the river bank in the town centre of a bypass of a section of the river.
After a decision is made it is hoped work could begin by January 2019 with an end date of sometime in 2021.
