Cork town 'which has gone through hell' set for multimillion-euro facelift

Millions of euro is to be spent on regenerating a Co Cork town “which has gone through hell in recent years” due to flooding, major flood prevention works, and the upgrade of its sewers and sewage treatment plant.

County councillors have approved the plan by the local authority for a major upgrade of streetscapes in Bandon, but there is one snag: the project will result in the removal of a lot of on-street parking spaces.
