Upgrades To Creagh Loop Walk

 By Colm Croffy

Plans are progressing for upgrades to a much-used Creagh walking loop, Cllr Alan Harney has reported.

“We have a very popular walk from Creagh Church down through Glentaun Bog, Atticorra, and back up the Creagh Road to the Church, which is used by walkers at all times of the year.”

“However, the section from the junction at Atticorra back up to Parkmore on the Creagh Road is incredibly dangerous for walkers, as there is no footpath and people have to walk on the road.”

There are issues at the junction at Atticorra for road users exiting onto the Creagh Road. Since his election to Galway County Council, he has been working on plans to upgrade the walking loop and make it safer for all road users.
​
“I am very pleased that we have been able to submit an application for funding under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Fund to upgrade the loop and ensure it is safe for people to get out and enjoy this great amenity in our community,” states Alan.
​
A successful funding application will upgrade the facilities on the walking loop, including increased signage, and will t safer for pedestrians and would upgrade the junction."
