Council to extend cycle route to Scrag Bog

The council is to extend the cycle route from Levington to Scrag Bog, and has set the planning process in motion.

It plans an extension to the existing cycle route and upgrades and extensions of the car park at Scragh Bog.

Works will include a 380-metre off-road cycleway through council-owned land adjacent to the L-1773 at Levington; ‘shared space’ signs along roads L-5706 and L-5708; and upgrading, expansion and resurfacing the Scragh Bog car park.

The details are at consult.westmeathcoco.ie/en or at Áras an Chontae, until November 25.

Submissions and observations can be made at consult.westmeathcoco.ie/en or written, and marked ‘Extension of Northern Cycle Route’, to the District Manager, Municipal District Mullingar Kinnegad, Áras an Chontae, Mullingar by 4pm on December 10.
