Hamlet Lane Improvements welcomed by Balbriggan Town Council

The members of Balbriggan Town Council were informed recently that the Transportation

Department of Fingal County Council have appointed a contractor to carry out improvement

works at Hamlet Lane which will commence in the coming week.

An Cathaoirleach, Councillor Frank Snowe who stated the Town Council

has made repeated representations on the condition of Hamlet Lane to

Fingal County Council thanked Director of Service, Mr Michael Lorigan

and his staff for their assistance.

Councillor Frank Snowe stated “I welcome on behalf of the people of

Balbriggan and the elected members of the Town Council the news that

the improvement works comprising the provision of a new footpath on

the southern side of Hamlet Lane from the Bremore Road junction to

Bremore Castle Housing estate will commence in the coming week. I have been informed that the

Council will be carrying out further improvements including the re-construction

of the road and drainage works as part of the improvement scheme for Hamlet Lane in the

coming weeks.”

“The provision of a new footpath is a major safety improvement at this location for

pedestrians and motorists alike and I am delighted that this work is happening now as

local children will be returning to school shortly.”

“These improvement works along with the re-surfacing of the Main Street which is underway

represents a significant investment by the Transportation Department of the Council in

Balbriggan and I know the town will benefit greatly as a result. I would also like to thank

the Council staff for their ongoing consultation with the community on the re-surfacing

works being carried out on the Main Street. We are all very aware that this work is

required in our town centre and the effect it can have on local traders if it is not managed

correctly.”
