Deise Greenway. Cycle path. Waterford City to Dungarvan.

One person had to be airlifted by Rescue 117 from the Greenway due to a serious head injury

Yeah id imagine so ,the person was airlifted to Waterford airport and transferred from there by ambulance to Ardkeen according to Rescue 117 facebook ,although i have seen ambulances on the greenway for minor accidents it all depends on what section and access etc

Not really, R117 needs a large helipad and plenty of space or you risk blowing in the windows due to the downdraft.

UHW doesn't have the space at present.

Waterford Airport is a very short spin by ambulance to UHW and sometimes they land at Waterpark Rugby Club which is practically beside the hospital.

This would be normal practice, CUH is another example where R117 land at Cork Airport and the patient is then transfer by ambulance to CUH.

Landing in the airport also ensures fire cover is present.

Over a year later and there is still no access to this,anyone know what’s going on with it?

A couple of positives from the greenway,the Kilmeadan village link was officially opened last week and looks like the Bilberry link into the city isn’t too far off, also the Kiloteran car park is getting all new fencing around it and what looks like a seating area.

Open since the June bank holiday

HAs it actually been handed over from contractor to council Mainteance on Greenway out around Killotteran and Mount Congreve is good..

thankfully theres now a move towards less 'maintenance', such activities are in fact highly destructive for biodiversity, its actually not normal for such maintenance in nature, this has been a human introduced activity, and now we have to start reversing it, or else....

...we do of course need to make sure such infrastructure is kept safe for all users, but a lot of maintenance is actually to appeal to our aesthetic wants and needs, and actually isnt needed at all, whats really needed is to make sure its just safe, we also dont need to tarmac and concrete the sh1t outta such infrastructure, theres plenty of potentially cheaper and more appealing materials out there for the job....

Fair enough. I detest dock leaves and the majority of the weeds are docks. 6 ft high weeds at a junction creates a driving hazard but fair enough. I doubt it'd look like that out the Dunmore Road but it is what it is and I'll keep schtum from here on.

Need to be more specific on where you see the signs.

City to kilmeaden carparks

bilberry,

WIT Arena,

Killotteran,

Suir Valley Railway

This is not neglect, as others have said, it is new thinking when it comes to maintaining urban areas. Let the wildflowers grow for pollinators and save money also. Admittedly, not sure if I like it myself to be honest. Does make roadsides look untidy. Guess it is a small price to pay to help Bee etc, we are screwed if their population collapses.

Could be bike parking. There is a graphic of a bike too.

They've sprayed the dock leaves. They are dying off now.

On another note. There used to be a lovely little coffee stop out around Mount Congreve just off the Greenway. He used to do pizzas and everything. The kids loved going there.

I haven't seen it at all there this year. There seems to be a different set up there but it's never open. I assume the original people won't be there any more. It was a lovely little place and they were really nice people.

its got nothing on creosote!

can anyone actually recommend an alternative to glyphosate, id really like to give up using it?

I don't think they used glysophosate. I doubt it. There are dock specific products available these days.

Yeah, it's lethal stuff alright. Kills everything.
