Clean-up at Mayo cemetery car park underway

WORKS have started to clean up the car park at the new cemetery in Castlebar.

The location was recently branded an embarrassment by Councillor Ger Deere, who has warmly welcomed the tidy-up that is now underway at the car park, off the Newport Road.

Councillor Deere had been highlighting the need for the works, telling a recent municipal district meeting that it was embarrassing for people attending funerals and visiting graves to see the general upkeep and condition of the car park surface. It was, he said, very disrespectful to all who are laid to rest in the cemetery.

Councillor Deere went on to say that hopefully a new surface will be laid at the car park in the coming months.
