An extension to the footpath on the Cavan Road out of Kilnaleck is due to start this summer.
Councillor Trevor Smith at this month's meeting of the Ballyjamesduff MD called on the council to extend the partial path all the way to Kill Cross as it is on a busy road and has seen at least 2 accidents occur in recent years.
