Lights on Thurles street to be upgraded in the coming weeks

The street lighting on Friar Street, Thurles is to be significantly enhanced and up-graded with the installation of smart ready LED lights, we have been informed.

Cllr Seamus Hanafin said that the lights will greatly improve the street and added that the work will get underway in the next few weeks.

“This is very welcome news and it is badly needed on Friar Street because the lighting can be quite poor there at times,” he said.

The street, as one of the main arteries into Liberty Square, is always very busy and the enhanced lighting will certainly help to make it more attractive for business in the coming years, with a number of vacant commercial premises located there.
