New lights were installed as part of the town enhancement works.

Westmeath County Council are working on a number of suggestions made by public representatives to allieviate the ongoing traffic issues in Mullingar.

Local Councillors identified a number of pinch points at the monthly MD meeting - where the problem is now a permanent fixture on the agenda.
