Councillor Gerry Warnock is welcoming news of its near completion.

Work at the public spaces are ongoing.

The projects aim to give a better connection between the various parts of Longford town

The project at the Market Square has been the subject of a lot of online criticism with people wondering why no work has been carried out there for the past several days

Local's have highlighted their concerns over the behaviour at the square once it reopens following rejuvenation works.

Councillors had been frustrated over the slow place of the works since contracts were signed last november.

Locals are hoping the reopening will help ease traffic congestion.

Several regeneration projects in Longford town and other areas have been allocated grant aid in recent years but no work has begun as yet on the ground
