Ennis is to receive three new walking and cycling routes under the Active Travel Town Funding Scheme.
Clare County Council has secured funding from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide improved connectivity throughout the town.
The Ennis Active Travel Town Project has received a major boost following confirmation of funding to provide improved infrastructure and connectivity for walkers and cyclists.
Three new walking and cycling routes will be developed on the Quin Road, from the Tulla Road to the Gort Road and between Clareabbey and Ballymaley.
New cycle parking, enhanced safety measures and directional, information and distance signage will be provided along the three routes.
The project is in its early stages but the new routes are expected to be completed on time for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, which takes place in Ennis next August.
