Unsightly wires and poles being removed in county town

THE sky view at the Mall in Castlebar is going to be improved.

Unsightly overhead wires and poles at Rock Square and also the Mall are to be removed.

The undergrounding works will be done by Mayo County Council in conjunction with Electric Ireland it was confirmed at a Castlebar Municipal District meeting this week.

The issue had been raised on a number of occasions by Councillor Ger Deere.

This area, he said, is one of the last around the town where wires are not underground and given the historical significance of the Mall and Rock Square it is very welcome news.
