Bells Lane path closure temporary
Readers contacted the Star to complain after the path was fenced off.
Said one: “This laneway has been used by the public as a connection between the towpath and Aberdelghy woods for a long time; indeed I have been using the path for over 40 years and I am very disapointed with the closure.”

“The timescale for the closure of the path will be clearer next week following a meeting with the contractor,” a spokesperson said.
“The Council will bring to the contractor’s attention the concerns of residents and will endeavour to ensure the pathway is opened as soon as is safely possible.”
