Come Walk With Me Into "The New Mlllonnlum" When the Navan Post Office was built in 1971, a wheelchair ramp with an iron railing prevented customers from easily accessing the adjacentbank. Lastyear, while on one of her routine walks to mail letters, a Navan village resident and Women’s Institute member, Sheila Calver, had the idea of a connecting walkway between the Post Of- fice and the bank. In November, Navan WI President Helen Burns, Navan Community Association President Ross Elliott (left) and Lions Club President John Tyrell (right) cut the ribbon to declare the walkway officially accessible to all, and to both businesses. The three organizations mounted a plaque on the Post Office declaring the walkwayajoint Millennium Project. Submttled by Helen Burns. Prestoanl. Navan WI.
