Spectacular air display planned for Westport

A SPECTACULAR air display is planned to take place in Westport on Sunday, May 14.

The Westport 250 committee has lodged an application with Mayo County Council for the event to take place at the Quay in conjunction with a funfair and food market.

The anticipated audience is expected to be in excess of 5,000.

A licence is required to hold such an event in accordance with Part XVI of the Planning and Development Act, 2000.

Plans and particulars of the extravaganza can be inspected by members of the public at Mayo County Council HQ in Castlebar while submissions and observations can also be made.

A decision on the application is expected to be made before the end of next month.
