KCLR News on the 'Bikes Loves Trees' community walk/cycle in Callan (15th July 2026)

A community walk and cycle to raise awareness of the proposed removal of native trees as part of the N76 Callan Bypass Pavement Scheme will take place at 5pm this evening. The walk will begin at the Abbey Meadow Car Park and will proceed through the Moat Field, onto the bypass and back around via Aldi. “We hope that as many people as possible participate in the public consultation process for this scheme,” said Nicola Teehan, who spoke to KCLR News about the event. “The more submissions, the better.” Étaoin Holohan, who runs Fennelly’s Café on Bridge Street, is chair of the Callan Town Team. She told KCLR News that the local community is looking forward to the delivery of the scheme but hopes these works can be carried out as sensitively as possible.
