New Safe Routes To School Scheme To Be Discussed In Rathangan Next Week

A public information evening on the Safe Routes to School scheme will be held in Rathangan next week.

The Active Travel Team will host a drop-in sessions in St Anne's National School in the village where people can view plans, meet the project team, ask questions and share feedback.

Included in the plans are a new speed ramp outside the school, new footpaths, a disabled parking space and a parking bay for buses.

Wexford County Council say "these intervention works are part of the Safe Routes to School programme, developed in partnership with the NTA and Green Schools in 2020.

"It is intended to undertake the proposed works on a phased basis subject to funding."

The event will be held in the school from 5 to 7pm next Thursday evening the 27th of August. 

For those unable to attend, the drawings of the proposed plans can be viewed in person at County Hall or on the council's website https://consult.wexfordcoco.ie/ until Friday the 28th of August.

Wexford County Council will consider any submissions or observations made in writing regarding the proposal, which can be submitted to Active Travel, Wexford County Council, County Hall, Carricklawn, Wexford, Y35 WY93 or through the above portal.

All submissions must be received by 4pm next Friday afternoon.
