Leitrim County Council has approved plans for a further streetscape enhancement plan as part of a destination town project in Carrick-on-Shannon.
The majority of the work will affect the area between Cryan's Hotel and the Carrick Plaza Suites along Local Road L3401-1
The council hopes to widen footpaths, develop more uncontrolled pedestrian crossings as well as enhance public lighting as well as landscaping features and public seating.
Councillors at the October meeting of the Carrick-on-Shannon M.D approved the plan- despite Councillor Des Guickian's objections.
He claimed that he was concerned over the narrow streets and wider footpaths and that the focus of some plans was to turn traditional rural areas into Mediterranean or French style towns
