Mayor Andrew McGuinness has praised Kilkenny County Council’s outdoor staff on what he says is a ‘job well done’ with improved walking and cycling facilities at the Pococke on the Johnswell Road.
Over the last number of days Kilkenny County Council crews completed resurfacing and landscaping works in preparation for the return to school.
“This facility provides a fantastic off road link to St John’s Senior School, Lakeside Medical Centre and local shops for residents from Ashfield, The Orchard, Pococke, Beechlawns and The Fairways. It is a beautiful walk or cycle that connects these housing schemes to all of the essential services and facilities in St John’s Parish,” said Mayor Andrew McGuinness.
“Last year, members of Kilkenny Municipal District cycled this route ourselves to get a taste of how beneficial a route like this can be. It’s great now to see it being used and so well maintained in time for the return to school in the coming weeks,” he said.
“I want to commend the Councils outdoor staff and engineers and our fantastic cycling officer Caitríona Corr for their foresight and hard work. They really have done a great job on this project,” concluded Mayor McGuinness
