The Square in Kilmacthomas will be partially closed today (Friday) and will be closed tomorrow (Saturday) to facilitate Active Travel roadworks.

The works have been ongoing for some weeks and have prompted debate locally, with some locals expressing concern at what they say was a lack of engagement on the project.

The number of parking spaces in The Square has reduced as a result and there have been calls for a public meeting in the village to discuss the issue.

Waterford Council’s Active Travel team says it apologises for any inconvenience. Access to Phelan’s Centra and surrounding premises is as normal.
