-- In most cases, the council has installed four stop signs and four shared path signs at each junction. Mayo County Council has said that a nearly €180,000 plan to install new gates and traffic signs along the Great Western Greenway between Westport and Achill has increased in cost to just under €200,000. The spending was revealed in a Freedom of Information request to the council after the local authority had started installing the gates last year, nearly 15 years after the greenway first opened.
