Public consultations for both the Skibbereen sections of the West Cork Greenway and the Cork to Kinsale Greenway are now open for submissions.

CORK County Council is inviting members of the public to have their say on early-stage plans for two new greenway projects in Cork County.

Public consultations for both the Skibbereen sections of the West Cork Greenway and the Cork to Kinsale Greenway are now open for submissions.

Both projects, funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland’s (TII) Greenway Programme, are at Phase 1 -concept and feasibility stage.

This involves the development of the study area, investigating the constraints within the study area to examine the feasibility of the project and optioneering of the proposed route, and these initial public consultations are designed to provide information on the projects and to invite feedback.

Cork County Council said that it welcomes as many people as possible to view the information online and to submit their feedback on the study area, the constraints and opportunities located within and any other features that the design team should consider.

For the West Cork Greenway, it is proposed that all routes will originate in Skibbereen and connect to the communities of Baltimore, Schull and Drimoleague, while the Cork to Kinsale Greenway is proposed to develop a suitable route creating connectivity between Cork city and Kinsale while acting as an active travel route for local communities and an alternative to commuting by car.

Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Frank O’Flynn, said: “The community plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of these projects.

“We encourage feedback and input to ensure these greenways align with the needs of residents and businesses in the area.

“Our common goal is to provide greenways that are sustainable, accessible, safe, and attractive for locals and visitors alike.”

Submissions can be made by post to Greenways, Cork National Roads Office, Richmond, Glanmire, Cork, T45 WA44.

The first public consultation for the West Cork Greenway - Skibbereen Sections will be online until February 23 at www.wcgskibbereen.ie, and information will also be available to view at Skibbereen Library.

The first public consultation for the Cork Kinsale Greenway will be online until February 29 at www.corkkinsalegreenway.ie, with in-person events held at the Viaduct Restaurant on Wednesday, February 7, from 2pm to 8pm, and in Kinsale Library the following day at the same time, with information available to view in the library during the consultation period.
