Independent councillor Frank Durcan has asked to see the report from the ground testing carried out by contractors on behalf of Castlebar Town Council in relation to the new footbridge at Lough Lannagh. The councillor had asked for the report at the previous meeting of the local authority. “I met the people who were doing the ground survey by accident one day I was down there walking,” he told the meeting last week. “They were getting paid €42,000 to carry out the work here, they told me Castlebar must be awash with money to have them down from Roscommon doing this work, as two blobs of concrete would hold any bridge like they’re putting in.”

Westport town manager Peter Hynes has said that the issue surrounding traffic in the town — which was discussed during a special meeting of Westport Town Council — is being examined, but as the town “was not designed for the car in mind” it will always mean that it will take some time in order to pass through the town. However if Westport is shortlisted for the Smarter Town Travel scheme and is in receipt of funding Mr Hynes said that cars will eventually be replaced by a larger uptake of people cycling and walking in the town, which will help alleviate traffic problems.
