Petition updatePut a walking and cycling path for everyone to enjoy parallel with Kiltimagh Velorailtoday the velorail opens and there is no path alongside
Western Rail Trail
Jun 9, 2023

After much protraction and over half a million spent on a project that has limited local support the velorail opened today with no path alongside it.  Over 200 submissions on the planning application asked for a pathway alongside this project and were ignored, now the closed railway is a pay per use tourist attraction. A similar project in Snowdonia National Park in North Wales - which has a footfall of over ten million visitors a year failed due to lack of interest.  Mayo county council has sunk over half a million into this project. Why?  The vast majority of people in KM wanted a simple greenway but have had their wishes ignored.  If you continue to remain baffled or annoyed at what has gone - you have to act, you have to speak to your councillors and ask why weren't we listened too???

Get onto your local representatives and soon!
