Cork County Council this week outlined a comprehensive programme to upgrade local and regional roads in the new Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District during 2019.
The programme which was approved at the recent Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District Meeting represents an injection of almost €5m in new road infrastructure for the area.
Local Fine Gael Cllr. John Paul O’ Shea welcomed the programme stating “a number of roads will be significantly improved this year as a result of this funding. We have had to make tough choices in this year’s programme with many roads in poor and debilitating conditions but I am happy we have put the worse roads on this year’s list”.
