The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. I understand from Clare County Council that the EIS and Preliminary Design Report for the project in question are now complete and are expected to be submitted shortly.

Further progress on project such as this will depend on applications for funding having regard to compliance with eligibility criteria, the need to prioritize projects, competing demands from other local authorities, and available funding.
