Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall where the commencement of the Carrick Regeneration Scheme was discussed at a meeting of Carrick MD councillors
Work got underway on the €2.38m first phase of the €17.8m Carrick-on-Suir Regeneration Scheme last week with information leaflets circulated to residents and businesses impacted by the project.
Kilheffernan based Glas Civil Engineering Ltd commenced the revamp of Seán Healy Park along the river bank on Carrick’s Clonmel Road on Wednesday, Novmber 22.
The facelift for the park includes the construction of new footpaths and hard paved areas and widening of the Suir Blueway cycle and walking path as well as associated landscaping and services/utilities upgrades.
Carrick Municipal District Administrator Marie O’Gorman informed the November meeting of the district’s councillors that an information letter from Glas has been dropped to all businesses and residents affected by the works.
Carrick-on-Suir MD Director of Services Brian Beck stressed the council was very anxious to keep a positive relationship with local residents.
He urged anyone who has concerns about the Regeneration Scheme works to contact the local authority.
He also encouraged councillors to bring any issues with the construction works to the council’s attention.
Carrick MD Cathaoirleach Cllr Kieran Bourke welcomed the appointment of Glas Civil Engineering as the contractor for the project,
He said the company has been fantastic as the contractor for the Carrick-on-Suir N24 Pavement Scheme, an extensive upgrade of 3.8km of the national route running through the town that has been underway since August last year.
He praised the company as excellent and described their staff as “approachable and very accommodating” when any issues arose.
Carrick’s Regeneration Scheme is funded by the Rural Regeneration Development Fund and Tipperary County Council.
Apart from the upgrade of Seán Healy Park, the first phase involves a revamp of Castle Park and part of Castle Street and Strand Walk that runs behind the castle.
The Suir Blueway will be extended to connect to North Quay to provide cycleway and pedestrian linkages from Seán Healy Park to Ormond Castle.
