    No Gas for Golf Course Road

    No Gas for Golf Course Road.

    Cllr Keith Martin says he is very disappointed that the gas network, which is currently being installed in Westport by Bord Gais, will not service the Golf Course Road area.

    Cllr Martin, who is a resident of the Golf Course Road, says “it is a great pity that for the want of a couple of hundred metres of piping that the 200 houses on the Golf Course Road will not be able to avail of the gas network. It is the largest section of the town to be excluded from the network and I think it is a pity that we won’t have the choice of switching to natural gas to power our homes.

    “In addition to the four housing estates on the Golf Course Road you have an industrial park, a printing business, a community building and the new Gaelscoil, which are all potentially major customers for the gas network. I think the planners have overlooked the importance of the area and its potential for gas usage.

    Cllr Martin says he will lobby Bord Gais to include the area in the current scheme but says it is unlikely that the Golf Course Road will receive gas connection under the current works.
