Cllr Paul Ross has called on Longford County Council to seek funding to install a footpath or cycleway from Carrickboy village to Ballycloughan village to “connect these two integrated communities”.
At last week’s meeting of Ballymahon Municipal District, Cllr Ross stated that there is “a new emphasis on funding for cycleways and walkways, so it’s time to push this”.
A second motion put forward by Cllr Paul Ross last week called on Longford County Council to seek to connect the Ardagh Mountain walk down to Garrycam and into Drumming, Ballycloughan and connect back to Ardagh village by the Lyanmore Road.

Colehill s councillor Mick Cahill has called on Longford County Council to consider the provision of additional car parking to facilitate the increasing use of Newcastle Woods for recreation.
His motion was proposed and promptly supported by his colleagues at this afternoon s meeting of Ballymahon MD, which was held via Microsoft Teams. That carpark has been getting a lot of people parking in it and when it s full, people are parking along the side of the road, which is very dangerous, Cllr Cahill noted.
