Cork business leaders meet over parking

Business leaders are set to meet this evening to discuss the planned revamp of Morrison’s Island and traders fears of the loss of hundreds of on-street parking spaces.

The Cork Business Association (CBA) is holding the meeting at the Imperial Hotel at 6pm. A city council official will be in attendance to discuss the plans and address any questions from CBA members.

Design experts behind the €6m revamp of Cork’s Morrison’s Island, which integrates flood defences with public realm upgrades, have said the plan “strikes the right balance” between protecting the area’s heritage and reducing flood risk.
