Traffic calming measures for congested Cork villages to be prioritised

Pedestrian safety is a priority in three heavily vehicular-congested villages, in major industrial hubs, close to Cork City.

Cork County councillors secured commitments from officials to have traffic calming measures put in place in Glounthaune, Glanmire, and Little Island.

Elected representatives highlighted locals’ fears over safety. Council engineers told members of the Cobh/Glanmire Municipal District comitttee they would be drawing up plans for new safety measures close to the church in Glounthaune, on the old Cork-Midleton road.
