Tesco gets green light for upgrade of Mayo town centre store

Tesco has been granted planning permisison for an extensive remodelling of the interior of our Ballina store.

The news has been welcomed by local Councillor Mark Duffy.

He has been informed by Geoff Byrne, COO of Tesco Ireland, that the project will include an upgrade of the store’s exterior as well the provision of new car parking facilities.

These are all part and parcel of a joint development project with Mayo County Council.

Added Mr. Byrne: "Conscious that plans for this store have been long in the offing, we have ringfenced financing for the store upgrade works and now with planning secure, we are liaising with Mayo County Council with a view to commencing the project at the earliest opportunity."

Councillor Duffy described the updated report as "very positive news for the town."
