Laois County Council have announced new details of their pedestrianisation plan for Main Street in Portlaoise.
At the start of the month, Laois County Council announced that they would pause the pedestrianisation of Main Street in Portlaoise with immediate effect.
But now the pedestrianisation will resume in August – on weekend’s only.
With the pubs scheduled to reopen on August 10, that may give more footfall on main street than before.
