Bandon Road and Dangerous Parking

If you are concerned about the dangerous parking on the Bandon road opposite the Kinsale Community College you can raise it via email to your local County Councillors before tomorrow Friday 23rd Sep 2016 when they are meeting to discuss the issue.  Many parents at the Gaelscoil are asking for double yellow lines to placed on this road section so everyone can safely cross the road here.  There is no need for any cars to be parked here as the college has access to the GAA car park for their students and since there are no double yellow lines it is technically not illegal to park on this very dangerous section.

If you want your voice heard please email the following local County Councillors requesting that they help approve double yellow lines on this section of road.
