West Cork to get parking spaces for elderly

Special parking spaces are to be set aside specifically for elderly motorists in three areas of West Cork and calls have been made for more to be developed as our ageing population increases in the years ahead.

Council officials have confirmed that the parking spaces are to be made available in town centres of Bandon and Skibbereen and close to the pier in Bantry.

The confirmation came at a meeting of the council’s Western Division in Clonakilty when the issue of providing better parking for elderly people was raised by Cllr Paul Hayes.
