COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - 23/9/2021
VILLAGE LIGHTS / FOOTPATHS
There have been very positive comments relating to the village footpath and lighting which has been progressing very well over the past few weeks. When Clonberne Community Development Committee made the initial application for this work under the Town and Village improvement scheme just a little over a year ago, we probably would not have envisaged work having progressed to this stage so quickly. Again, delivery of lighting is resulting in the completion of the work being delayed by a week or two. Thanks to Galway County Council for their assistance with the initial application including project design planning, contract and supervision. Thanks to the main contractor Anthony Cunnane, Ballinasloe for the efficient manner in which he has undertaken the work with little disruption to traffic and parish life. We also wish to acknowledge the great help of Cllr. Peter Keaveney, MCC with this project.
LIGHTS AND SHOWERS
Due to a delay in delivery of the led lighting, work is a little behind schedule. However subject to no further delay we hope work will be progressing next week. Work on the upgrade of the dressing room showers will be starting in the next week, also.
CEMETERY MAPPING
The cemetery mapping project is nearing completion. A draft map of Clonberne cemetery will be on display in Clonberne church porch, until Oct. 10th. Please take the time over the next few weeks to look at it. This is the last opportunity to make changes or additions. Phone numbers to contact are available beside the map.
WALKING TRACKWork is progressing very well with the construction of the walking track. All of the ground and surface works is complete. Special thanks to our principal contractors Henry Haverty and Paul Dunleavy for the very efficient workmanship and having undertaken the work at a time when weather conditions were ideal. This was vital to ensure as little disruption to existing facilities as possible. Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped out at short notice. There has been some delay with the delivery of the lights for the walking track. Pending delivery, we are hopeful that the lighting will be progressing next week.
