(Roads)
Mayo County Council propose to realign and reconstruct a section of the N60 Castlebar to Claremorris Road at Manulla.

The project will involve the following works:

• The realignment and construction of approximately 1.785km of carriageway, to provide a carriageway width of 7.0 metres with 2 No hard strips of 0.5 metres (total width 8.0 metres) with 2 No 2.5 metre wide grass verges. The proposed scheme commences at the Ballina – Dublin Railway crossing and traverses south of the existing N60 for a distance of 1.4km and then rejoins the N60 for the final 0.385km in the townland of Rinnahulty
• Vehicles accessing the existing the N60 from the north will access the realigned section of new N60 carriageway by way of a new access road which will be constructed approximately 40m to the southeast of the existing L -1706-86 Local road. The existing L-1706-44 Local Road between the existing N60 and the realigned section of new N60 carriageway will be closed.
• Vehicles travelling from the south will access the new N60 carriageway via a new junction which will be constructed between the L1706-44 and the new N60 carriageway in the townland of Skiddernagh.
• The existing L-17068-0 junction with the existing N60 will be relocated 100m west. Residents will then access the realigned section of new N60 carriageway by way of the relocated L-1706-86 Local Road.

The works will be undertaken in the townlands of Manulla, Rinnahulty, Skiddernagh, and Creaghanboy.

Plans and particulars of the proposed development will be available for inspection or purchase at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy at the offices of Mayo County Council, Aras an Chontae, Castlebar between the hours of 10.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday up to 8th July 2011.

Lyme Disease Poster and Leaflet


(General Council)
Lyme disease (caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi)is spread by the bite of a tick. Ramblers, campers, mountainbikers, and people who work and walk in forested/grassy areas are at greatest risk of being bitten. The first symptom of Lyme disease is often a rash that can appear 3 to 30 days after the tick bite. Most cases are mild but occasionally a severe form can develop with heart and nervous system involvement.
