Views on Kilbeggan greenway sought

Westmeath County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland intend to build a greenway between Kilbeggan to Mullingar.

It will form a link between the established greenway infrastructure, which is part of the Galway to Dublin national cycleway, at Mullingar and the greenway infrastructure at Kilbeggan, which links to the Grand Canal greenway.

The project is now at the initial Phase 1 Public Consultation stage, which focuses on the Study Area and Constraints.

The council has identified the broad project study area within which the greenway could feasibly be located.

Westmeath County Council wants to hear people’s views on this project and invite them to attend the first public consultation event, in Bloomfield House Hotel, on May 18 between 3pm and 8pm.

A brochure with project details and a feedback form can be collected at the event or from the Westmeath County Council National Roads Office following the event to submit feedback on the project.

All feedback should be returned to the project team by June 8, 2023 by email to: info@kilbeggantomullingargreenway.ie or post to: Kilbeggan to Mullingar Greenway, RPS, Lyrr 2, IDA Business and Technology Park, Mervue, Galway, H91 H9CK.
