Wicklow's Rural Roads Allocated €384,390 Under Local Improvement Scheme.

Heather Humphreys TD has announced funding of €11 million for improvement works on Ireland's rural roads and laneways.

The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has today announced funding of €11 million for repairs and improvement works on Ireland's rural roads and laneways. This funding, under the Minister’s Local Improvement Scheme, will support the continued improvement of non-public roads and lanes that are not normally maintained by the local authorities. The funding represents an increase of €500,000 on the initial 2021 allocation, with each county receiving an increase in their allocation accordingly. County Wicklow has been allocated €384,390. The funding provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development will be complemented by a local financial contribution from landowners/householders, as well as local authority resources. There will be a cap of €1,200 on the amount that any individual householder or landowner will be asked to contribute towards the cost of repairs to their road.
