One of Cork's most popular seaside spots has been dubbed ‘chock-a-blocka Crosser’ amid claims that traffic is now so bad at the weekends locals won’t venture into the village.

The lack of parking in Crosshaven has become a major issue, according to councillors representing the area, which is under the control of the Carrigaline Municipal District Council.
