Council to consult public over plan for suburban area

CORK city council will begin public consultations next week as part of a masterplan for an area critics say is plagued with overdevelopment.

The council wants to hear from the public to help it draw up an Area Action Plan for the Bishopstown and Wilton areas.

The area is broadly defined by Sarsfield Road, Wilton Road, Victoria Cross to the east, the Curraheen River to the west, the River Lee to the north, and the South Ring Road.
