Leitrim County Council District Engineer, Darragh O Boyle has said that if the local authority moves to apply blacktop to the Blackrock lay-by in Drumshanbo they will have to erect height restrictors to ensure that heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), currently using this area as a parking bay, can no longer access it.
The comments came after Cllr Enda McGloin asked the Council to provide a tarmac overlay for the lay-by at Blackrock, Drumshanbo. The area, located opposite the Canal Blueway walk bridge, has “a lot of potholes” noted Cllr McGloin at the April Ballinamore MD meeting.

Drumshanbo s historic High Street in need of repair

Drumshanbo s unique elevated High Street is in need of heritage works and repair.
Cllr Enda McGloin is calling on the Council to consider an application to revamp and repair Drumshanbo’s historic High Street.
He said upon a recent inspection, the parapet and stones are “worn and need attention.” He asked if the Heritage Officer could assist them to gain funding.
Leitrim County Council said it is “not the role of the Heritage Officer to prepare applications for funding under either the Historic Structures Fund or of the parallel Built Heritage Investment Scheme. The Heritage Officer can offer advice on the application process itself but the Heritage Officer is part of the assessment panel of applications which are then proposed for funding by Leitrim County Council.”
