From Cllr. Dave Keating, Independant Sein Fein in Westport

I spotted this 'obstacle' the other day up at the Octagon. A person in a wheelchair has no chance of getting around this, and the problem is further compounded by the 'over-hanging' parked car! The purpose of a footpath is for safe pedestrian movement - not an extension of a public house. This seating will have to be moved, and as this is not an isolated example, the on-going problem of over-hanging parked cars will have to be addressed going forward. This type of access problem is also a concern for the elderly, people with pushchairs, and the visually impaired.

Rgds.,
