Planning permission is finally being sought to convert a maintenance gate into a new pedestrian access to Cork’s Tramore Valley Park.

Almost 15 months since the park opened, the city council will publish details on Friday of its Part 8 planning process to provide a safe additional pedestrian and cycling access point to the vast urban parkland from South Douglas Road via Half Moon Lane.
