Ghost town: Cork traders threaten rates revolt over city centre car ban
The possible rates revolt emerged as business owners on the city’s main street claimed afternoon trade has been decimated and jobs are now at risk since the city council introduced a three-and-a-half hour daily car ban on the street just over two weeks ago.
The council chief executive, Ann Doherty, accepted last night that the new traffic plan has created difficulties but insisted that it needs more time to work.
