KCC asked to facilitate mobile campervans & consider developing the Old Barrow towpath
There are calls for boosting of the tourism potential of the Barrow Blueway in Athy.
The 46 kilometre route extends from Lowtown, to St. Mullins in Carlow.
Work on the Kildare and Laois sections of the walking and cycling route is already underway.
Fianna Fáil Athy Cllr., Brian Dooley, wants Kildare County Council to "look to install both metered power and water points for mobile campervans in areas around either the Dominican lands or the back of Emily Square"
While Labour Cllr, Mark Leigh, says the council should "consider developing the Old Barrow towpath from Athy to Monasterevin on the Kildare side into a Blueway to complement the Blueway on the opposite bank, creating a 47km continuous Blueway around Waterways in South and West Kildare."
Both motions come before the June meeting of the Athy Municipal District for debate.
