Traffic wardens to be deployed in Midleton

Parking wardens are to be deployed into a busy provincial town to tackle some town centre businesses and other motorists flouting a two-hour parking limit.

Some of the retailers, professionals and employees working in the heart of Midleton in Co Cork are occupying Main Street car parking spaces on a daily basis.

“The car parks in Midleton are full. Traffic is at a standstill and people are double parking on the main street. It’s chaos,” warned Cllr Susan McCarthy.
