TEMPORARY TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS are to be introduced on Parnell Street in Ennis before a retractable bollard is put in place.
Calls for the temporary installation of barriers “at the end of the pedestrianised section of Parnell Street to stop vehicular traffic coming up the street” were voiced by Cllr Mark Nestor (FF) at this month’s meeting of the Ennis Municipal District.
Senior executive engineer, Eamon O’Dea confirmed that plans are continuing to install a retractable bollard but their contractor is delayed by ESB connections. “The Ennis MD will arrange temporary traffic management to obstruct errant drivers from entering Cabey’s Lane,” he stated.
Some businesses operating after 6pm on the pedestrian section of Parnell Street “have had issues of cars travelling up the street when they shouldn’t be,” Cllr Nestor commented. His proposal was supported by Cllr Paul Murphy (FG).
