SCOPE for the addition of extra car parking spaces in Cluain Airne is to be examined.
In a proposal before the Shannon Municipal District, Cllr Tony Mulcahy (FG) requested the local authority to “set out a plan to provide four to five extra parking spaces on each roadway through Cluain Airne, Shannon over the next year or two”.
Senior executive engineer in the Shannon MD, Tom Mellett advised the meeting that an assessment of parking had been previously committed to for all estates in Shannon Town. He said Cluain Airne will be included in this assessment.
He stated, “The outcome of that assessment will determine additional space allocation. We have successfully delivered additional spaces in the town in recent years and would intend to continue with that trend where possible”.
Any plan needs to cover a period spanning a few more years, Cllr Mulcahy believed. Cllr Donna McGettigan (SF) seconded the proposal and also requested a plan on parking while citing issues across Shannon Town.
