Residents of Glenmornan face a daily challenge when it comes to safely enjoying a walk. The current walking routes are primarily on narrow country roads without footpaths, posing significant safety hazards, especially as daylight fades. The need for a dedicated walking path has become increasingly apparent, one that can provide a safe and dependable area for community members of all ages to exercise, socialise, and improve their wellbeing.

Establishing a walking path at Owen Roes Leckpatrick GAC is not just a matter of convenience; it's a crucial step towards enhancing community health and safety. A walking path would cater to the needs of walkers, joggers, and families, becoming an asset that encourages a more active lifestyle while minimizing the risks associated with navigating country roads.

Investment in this kind of infrastructure is more than a financial commitment; it's a commitment to the future health, safety, and cohesion of our community. Studies from organizations like the World Health Organization highlight that accessible walking paths contribute significantly to enhanced physical health, reduced stress levels, and stronger community ties.

We urge the Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) to prioritize the funding and construction of a walking path at Owen Roes Leckpatrick GAC. By doing so, they would not only ensure a safer environment but also foster an inclusive community spirit where residents can engage with their environment positively.

Your voice matters. The addition of a walking path is a significant enhancement that supports both individual health and community well-being. Sign the petition to show your support for a safer and healthier Glenmornan.
