Businesses face impact of Killarney’s revamp work

MAJOR work on the busiest street in Killarney in the run-up to Christmas could lead to serious disruption, traders claimed yesterday.

The local town council is to close Main Street from the end of this month until December 1 to give the street a €400,000 facelift that will include partial pedestrianisation and a one-way traffic system.

But, traders fear it will lead to a loss of business and keep people away from the area to the detriment of local businesses.
