Move cars for clean sweep

RESIDENTS will be asked to move their cars in an effort to achieve a clean sweep of Cork’s suburban roads.

City manager Joe Gavin said he would first try to get agreement and co-operation from residents’ associations on the matter before considering introducing bylaws, which could result in fines for motorists who park on streets preventing mechanical sweepers from cleaning the roads properly.

The issue was raised at Monday night’s council meeting by Cllr Mary Shields (FF).
