New car parking spaces sought in Laois town

Extra car parking spaces have been requested at Marian Hill in Portarlington. 

Cllr Aidan Mullins asked: “That Laois County Council install extra car parking spaces at Marian Hill, Portarlington”

In response, Senior Executive Engineer Philip McVeigh said: “Laois County Council will inspect this location and identify the extent of the works required, in consultation with the elected Member. We can then obtain a quotation for the agreed scope of works.”

Cllr Mullins explained that “it is a very narrow street outside a row of houses” and “there is a green area outside Marian Hill.”

The issue was discussed at the last meeting of Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District.
