Cllr. Peter Ormond has welcomed an extra allocation for the maintenance of lighting and roads restoration in the Birr Electoral Area. Cllr. Ormond stated that he was stunned two weeks ago when he heard that the lighting budget had been spent and that the maintenance of lights would be deferred until early 2014. It is important that Offaly County Council maintain front line services And in one of my last acts as Chairman of Offaly County Council, I was delighted to negotiate an extra €80,000 with the executive towards the lighting budget. This figure will ensure the adequate maintenance of lighting for the reminder of the year.
Cllr. Ormond also welcomed the additional funding of €234,000 towards roads restoration in the Birr area. This extra funding will be spent on the following, Dromoe Road, Moneygall, Cemetary Road, Dunkerrin, Grogans Lane, Kilcolman to Jackies Cross, Ballystanley to Abbey Mills, Mountmask Lane & Letter Lane.
Cllr. Ormond stated that this extra allocation will greatly enhance these roads and it is hoped that these works will be completed in the next couple of months.
