In recent months Ballyleague Village Renewal and residents on the Roscommon road out of Ballyleague have been liaising with Roscommon county council about improvements to drainage and the entrance roadway and grass verge on the side of the main road going from Clonadra hill into Ray’s filling station in the village Ballyleague.

Some improvements have already been carried out but it is hoped to draw up a plan for additional works and improvements that will make it safer to walk along the side of that busy road. With this in mind the Ballyleague village renewal committee set up a sub committee chaired by Gerry Trimble who intends to meet with and consult with all residents along the road and from the adjoining townlands before this goes any further.

Gerry is now inviting everyone who lives along the main road between Rays filling station and Trimbles in Clonadra (or lives in Moher or along the line road or the road into Rockwood) to attend a meeting in St Faithleachs clubhouse in Ballyleague on Monday  November 30th at 8.30pm when there will be a general chat about improvements that might be carried out for safety reasons and to enhance the approach roads.

For more details speak to Gerry Trimble or turn up on Monday November 30th at 8.30pm in the clubhouse. County councillors for this area are also invited to attend on the night. Thank You. For more information contact keepballyleaguetidy@gmail.com

Ballyleague Village Renewal wish to thank Waterways Ireland for the tremendous work presently underway in the North harbour quay area beside the bridge in Ballyleague. After a meeting between the Village Renewal committee and Waterways last year this project was outlined and drawn up. It includes a new roadway, a new footpath, special seating, a new garden and trees and shrubs along with new safety railings. It will really compliment the work done in the new riverside park last year.
