WHEELCHAIR users now have access to a Clonakilty beauty spot after the completion of a new pathway, writes Martin Steinmetz.

The long-awaited pathway was officially opened at Bennet’s Mill Field, leading from the biodiversity garden’s Western road entrance to its Fernhill Road entrance.

Diarmuid Cregan, co-chairperson of Clonakilty Tidy Towns Committee, thanked All Black Tarmacadam and Pat O’Driscoll Construction for providing both the material, equipment and labour for the pathway.

Meanwhile, visitors to Darrara Cemetery are delighted with works finished on a new footpath and drainage system.

Cllr Daniel Sexton (Ind Ire) said Cork County Council had done a “fantastic job”.

“These works have transformed the grounds into a safe, accessible space so that everyone, especially wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility, can finally visit their loved ones’ graves easily,” said Cllr Sexton, whose father is buried there.
