New ATM proposal for Mayo tourist town

A NEW ATM facility is being proposed on Bridge Street in Westport.

Euronet 360 Finance has applied for planning permission for the installation of an ATM machine on the shopfront of Cosy Joe's pub.

Planning documents lodged with Mayo County Council explain that the ATM will meet the needs of the substantial consumer presence in Westport town, which is a very busy tourist town.

Despite it being a very busy tourist town, there is a distinct low amount of cash facilities available in close proximity to the proposed site, it is submitted.

There are no cash facilities within the radius of 150m from the site.

The installation, by providing additional cash facility and the ease of access to cash for tourists, would support Westport as a key tourism hub and would support the residents who run family businesses in the town.
