Eight towns and villages within the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District is to benefit from Cork County Council’s 2019 Footpath Replacement Programme.
A total of €1m of funding has been set aside countywide for the footpath programme with almost €150k allocated to the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District.
Welcoming the allocation of funding to the specific towns and villages, Local Fine Gael Cllr. John Paul O’ Shea said “This announcement is very welcomed news and will go some way in addressing the deteriorated and substandard footpaths we currently have in the District. We re-established the dedicated footpath replacement programme in place in 2014 and since then, we can already see the benefits of the programme”.
