New designated bus stop for county Waterford town welcomed

West Waterford councillor Donnchadh Mulcahy has said new bus stops in Tallow are an important step forward for safety.

Buses had been stopping in an area of high traffic and busy junctions.

Cllr Mulcahy said this was something raised with him during the election and he welcomed the designation stop.

“I want to thank the Council for working with us to address this issue and delivering a practical solution for the town. It’s a positive outcome for the community,” he said.

“In the past, particularly at the old bus stop beside Spar, cars were often parked in the area, leaving buses with nowhere to pull in and causing mayhem in the town centre. These new stops will only work if they are kept clear,” said Cllr Mulcahy.

Cllr Mulcahy took the opportunity to commend Local Link for the vital service they provide.

“Local Link provides a brilliant and much-needed service across West Waterford, connecting our communities and supporting people in their day-to-day lives.

“I want to thank everyone who engaged with the council on this matter. It shows what can be achieved when people come together and highlight an issue that needs to be addressed.

“He added that he will continue to work on behalf of Tallow and the wider West Waterford area to improve safety and infrastructure for local communities,” said Cllr Mulcahy.
