Residents demand Cork bus lane be scrapped due to accidents

Residents have called for the scrapping of a bus lane on one of Cork City’s busiest roads after figures show there have been more than 100 accidents in the area since it was installed.

Wilton Road Residents Association has asked Local Government Minister Simon Coveney to intervene in a bid to improve road safety on the Wilton road before someone is killed.

“We have been raising these concerns for almost a decade but they have been ignored,” said residents’ spokesman John Leahy.
