Cork City Council to set up committee to help 'maintain, resource, and develop' city centre

Small-scale initiatives such as power washing of bridges and parapet railings, the removal of weeds, as well as the co-ordination of night markets and late coffee houses have begun

A new committee needs to be established within Cork City Council to help transform the city into an attractive destination for work, living, studying, and investing, the council's chief executive has said.

Last February, the council established the city development and operations directorate (CCDOD) as a “start-up business project" to help “maintain, resource, and develop a city centre".
