Efforts are underway to make the bridge in Castlecomer safer for pedestrians

Efforts are underway to make the bridge in Castlecomer safer for pedestrians.

The Discovery park on the edge of the town is a huge attraction for locals and visitors alike but councillors in the area have been flagging up safety issues for those who make the trip to it on foot from the town side.

And if plans to develop the old Avalon Inn are given the go-ahead, its expected the town will see even more visitors in future.

Councillor Maurice Shortall says they are all in agreement that its an issue that needs to be addressed.
