Show Notes
Councillor Phyll Bugler in Ballina, Tipperary, is advocating for a reevaluation of the pedestrian-only change on the old bridge connecting her town to Killaloe in Clare. The decision, aimed at enhancing safety for walkers and cyclists, has reportedly led to a significant drop in footfall and business losses for local traders. Bugler is proposing solutions like moving the Sunday farmers market and suggesting weekend closures or one-way traffic to balance safety and access. Meanwhile, the councils maintain their stance, citing data from a trial period and highlighting the bridges new role in events and tourism. As discussions continue, efforts are being made to integrate safety improvements with strategies to attract visitors back to the bridge.
