Call To Render “Lethal” Quarryvale Exit Safe

Two Youghal Town Councillors warned the September council meeting that the entrance/exit at Quarryvale Estate to the main road presents a “lethal” road hazard. -Christy Parker Reports

Both councillors had been approached repeatedly by residents of the estate. Drivers travelling towards Youghal Bridge, regularly park on the left roadside -often by way of visiting Crowley’s shop- and thus interfere with motorists’ view of speeding traffic as they negotiate onto the main road.

Cllr. Linehan Foley suggested “a yellow box or bollards” be installed to address “a tragedy “waiting to happen.” Cllr Michelle Hennessy concurred. She reminded Town Engineer Paul Murray that he had visited the area last year, following which double yellow lines had been implemented. She would wish the lines now be extended to the adjacent Woodland Grove estate “That should stop the parking or at least it would be a Garda issue of they did not,” she said. Mr Murray agreed to revisit the entrance.
