Cork County Council impacts the daily lives of everybody in the region, from mammoth infrastructural tasks like keeping its 12,000kms of roads open and providing housing to supplying library books, protecting people from pollution and giving much-needed grant aid to the arts and community/sporting groups.
The extent of its services can be highlighted by the fact that in an average year its fleet of vehicles and accompanying outdoor staff travel the equivalent of to the moon and back nearly eight times.
