Clare road plan is not in best interests of locals

Clare County Council recently voted through the incorporation of the Northern Distributor Road and the re-zoning of lands in south east Clare into the Clare County Development Plan.

This was done against the wishes of the people of the region and against the wishes of 85% of hundreds of submissions that were lodged in relation to this purposed development.

What Clare County Council actually achieved, if approved by An Bord Pleanala, is the construction of a motorway-like structure running from Coonagh roundabout to the Cappamore roundabout on the N7.
