Work starts on Great Western Greenway expansion in Achill

October 20, 2016

Work has started on expanding the Great Western Greenway in Achill, according to Mayo County Council’s Facebook page for the greenway.

“We have just started extending the Greenway again westwards through really scenic Achill,” said a post this evening on the Great Western Greenway Cycling & Walking Trail page.

It added: “Work currently underway on phase one of the extension of the Greenway on Achill Island. We expect to complete phase 1 this year and the entire 12km section to Keel within the next 2 years.”

IrishCycle.com have asked the council for details of the expansion.

Did this go through a planning process? If so, did An Taisce receive notice of it?
