Works to resolve flooding issue at Mayo's Lough Lannagh

WORKS are to take place next week to resolve a flooding issue on the popular walkway at Lough Lannagh in Castlebar.

Mayo County Council has issued notice that the Castlebar Municipal District intends to carry out work on a section of the Lough Lannagh loop walk between Monday and Friday, August 14 and 18.

Signage and diversions will be in place. The route through the area highlighted in red on the map will be closed, with no through access.

Local Councillor Ger Deere has welcomed the works having highlighted the issue some months ago.

He commented: "It is great to see work commencing to finally resolve the flooding issue on the walkway around the lake, which is a popular amenity with so many people in the local community as well as with visitors.”
