Independent Nationalist candidate calls for Bishop Street car parking strategy

Independent Nationalist candidate for the Moor ward, Emmet Doyle has said following engagement with residents in the Bishop Street area in the last number of weeks, Council should commit to a parking strategy for the area.

He said: "Many of the streets in the area such as Ferguson Lane and Miller Street were built to cater for horses and carts, not families who have two or more cars.  I have been inundated with concerns about residents being unable to park anywhere near their homes, and the conduct of other drivers in the area.

“Work to put in place a strategy that manages through traffic and gives residents the peace of mind many are lacking must now begin in earnest.  I have been in contact with the Department of Infrastructure and hope to have staff on site soon to discuss any concerns."
