Widening of footpaths in small towns during redevelopments is impractical and causing traffic congestion.
Offaly Councillor Ken Smollen also says the new paving doesn't make any sense for the ordinary person using the street.
He received a picture highlighting two trucks unable to pass one another at a junction in Clara.
Mr. Smollen says the enhancements is creating a number of problems for locals:
