Offaly's first citizen welcomes Tullamore roadworks

OFFALY'S first citizen has welcomed ongoing road works in the wider Tullamore area.

Cllr Declan Harvey, Cathaoirleach, Offaly County Council, said road markings had been refreshed at various locations around the town including Pearse Park and Clontarf Road.

He added that works will also be carried out on yellow boxes in Arden View and Davitt St while the pedestrian crossing at St Mary's Youth and Community Centre in Harbour St will be refreshed.

Work is also earmarked to be carried out at Scally's Centra on the Arden Road and at different locations around Tullamore and environs in the coming weeks.

"This work is very necessary and will make roads safer for both drivers and pedestrians," said the Park Avenue based councillor.
