Two public consultation days are being held in order to enable the public to review presented route corridor options and to provide formal feedback. These will take place on Wednesday 23 May in Hollybush Primary School, Ardan Road, Culmore from 2 to 8pm and on Thursday 24 May in Muff Community Hall, Muff, Co. Donegal from 2 to 8pm

The Muff to Derry section is known as Route 2 and is one of three routes being developed as part of the North West Greenway Network. On completion, the three routes will deliver 46.5 km of new cross-border greenway that will help reduce carbon emissions by encouraging commuters to leave their cars at home. The €18 million project is part-funded under the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

We would strongly encourage everybody to get involved and feed into the process as much as possible in order to contribute to shaping and informing development in their region”.
