Co-located hospital’s day staff will face a parking ban
The Beacon Medical Group, which is planning to build the €250 million facility on the grounds of Cork University Hospital, said the policy is designed to minimise traffic volumes in and out of the facility — one of the main concerns of local residents fighting the project. The comments came as the deadline for submissions on the Beacon group’s planning application for the CUH site passed yesterday afternoon.
About 60 had been lodged by Wednesday, and a further 20 by lunchtime yesterday. A petition signed by about 150 people was also handed in to City Hall. Beacon group chief executive Michael Cullen said his group was taken aback by the level of opposition.
