Clare’s road funding for 2011 has increased despite a drop in the national road budget.
Clare County Council will receive an allocation of almost 5 and a half million euro from the Department of Transport, up over a million euro on last year – for the improvement and maintenance of the road network.
The Department’s national roads budget this year stands at over 866 million euro, down from 1.1 billion last year – the funds cover all national primary and secondary routes.
