Planning permission has been granted for accessibility improvements in Castlerea for people with limited mobility. Castlerea Town Trust lodged plans seeking to convert the existing steps between the street and the river path on Main Street to a 21 metre long ramp. The development will also see the construction of a 29 metre long metal cantilever meeting area on the riverbank, east of the existing steps and path and three new public benches.
According to the planning application, approximately 148 metre of the riverside path would be reprofiled and finished with an anti-skid surface to prevent slips. Roscommon County Planners granted planning permission with 15 conditions attached.
