Meath County Council is hosting a public consultation on the Drogheda-Navan Boyne Greenway Project with a Public Information Event on this Thursday, January 11th between 2pm and 8pm in the Conyngham Arms Hotel, Slane.
The Boyne Greenway Way, Navan to Oldbridge is a proposed 26km greenway extending from Andy Brennan Park in Navan westwards to Oldbridge estate joining the existing greenway. The project is currently at Option Selection stage and Meath County Council have developed an Emerging Preferred Route. It is proposed to progress the Navigation Restoration as a separate project to the greenway.
Public Consultation is an essential element in the development of any greenway. An in-person public information event will be held on Thursday 11th January 2024 from 2pm to 8pm in the Conyngham Arms Hotel, Slane, Co. Meath as part of this non-statutory public consultation.
Cathaoirleach and Drogheda & East Meath Councillor Stephen McKee is encouraging the public to have their say. “Meath County Council has just published the preferred route for the Boyne Greenway, Drogheda-Navan section. The Public Consultation on this route runs until January 29th” he said.
“This is an exciting project for the area as the economic and tourism potential of the Boyne Greenway is significant. The Greenway will provide a 26.5km pedestrian and cycle route from the existing section of Boyne Greenway at Oldbridge Estate along the River Boyne to Andy Brennan Park in Navan, allowing access to the World Heritage Site at Brú na Bóinne and other locations along the Boyne Valley.
‘Everyone is invited to drop down and see the plans for the route. Further information and how to make a submission can be found at www.meath.ie/boynegreenway and www.consult.meath.ie.
