Anti-parking bollards coming to two Laois estates

Bollards to prevent cars parking are coming to the entrances of two housing estates in Mountmellick.

One is Ashgrove in the town centre, a busy area next to the credit union, arts centre and funeral home.

The other is Grange Hall on Harbour Street, which is undergoing a major housing expansion.

Cllr Paddy Bracken has asked for the bollards, tabling a motion to the October meeting of the Mountmellick Borris-in-Ossory Municipal District.

He said it is in the interests of pedestrian safety.

Laois County Council has agreed to install flexible pedestrian safety bollards in both locations.
