A Westport Councillor is calling on Mayo County Council officials to begin talks as soon as possible with landowners and property owners, regarding the extension of the greenway from Murrisk to Lecanvey.
Independent Councillor Christy Hyland says funding for this extension of the greenway was provided by former Minister Michael Ring early last year, but no progress has yet been made.
Councillor Hyland insists that extending the greenway to Lecanvey, and then onto Louisburg and Roonagh, would be a gamechanger for tourism in West Mayo, post Covid-19.
He says he does not want to see the Covid-19 pandemic being used as a reason not to start negotations with landowners, as such talks could take place over the phone, rather than face-to-face.
