Fears major sewerage and flood projects are driving businesses out of West Cork town

Cork County Council's economic development department has been asked to draw up plans to attract small and medium-sized businesses to Bandon amid fears major sewerage and flood projects underway in the town are driving them out.

Standing orders were suspended at a meeting of the council's western division at the request of Cllr Gillian Coughlan who said inadequate signage for diversions needed for the construction projects was causing chaos.
