Extensive clean-up of Mayo town centre ahead of festive season

Castlebar town centre is getting an extensive clean-up ahead of the festive season.

Outdoor staff of Castlebar Municipal District are power-hosing and scrubbing locations in badly need of a fresh look.

They include Market Square, Collectors Lane, Cavendish Lane and a number of lane ways on Main Street.

The deployment of a number of additional staff in recent months has greatly boosted the council's efforts in keeping the town centre spick and span.

The Christmas lights will be switched on on Friday, November 28, at Market Square.

Trees on which lights have been erected were cut back in recent days, further helping to give the streets a cleaner appearance and devoid of fallen leaves.
