We've been waiting years for something to be done with the roundabout on dark winter evenings.

A local resident responded to our November article and recommended some lights. After Christmas they were on sale and it became an opportunity to grasp.

Johnstown Tidy Towns collaborating with the Taylors Walking Group for sponsorship managed to make this happen.

Being a very busy junction the lights couldn't be particularly bright or distracting and added to the fact that there's no power supply we think this fits in well. Perhaps we could have trees decorated next Christmas ?

The roundabout apron still needs a clean and repair where the trucks are ripping up the block work.

NO CHANGE.

We decided a long time ago to stop reporting on the Gym Building until something was guaranteed to happen and not just planning applications, potential buyers or rumour.

HOWEVER !

Johnstown Tidy Towns are very keen to make this eyesore look a little better whilst we wait for a new occupant.

Proposals and ideas will be posted on their facebook page so regularly check it out to see if you can help.

The final section of path in front of The Boyne Estates and opposite the IDA entrance will soon be completed. It was sad to see the removal of the entire easterly side treeline on Metges Road.

It's a shame to have lost the country feel and had the New Apartment Block permission been granted virtually all the trees would be gone.
