Speed, parking concerns in Cnoc na Greine

Speeding and parking problems in Cnoc na Greine View need to be addressed, writes local resident Dave Wheeler.



There are many cases, every week, of speeding on the straight stretch of road from outside No 15 'The View' all the way up past Nos 28 & 43 (opposite sides of the road) leading to Cnoc Na Greine Woods.

This directly affects 16 homes, many of which have young kids, my own included. I would appeal to all to slow down before somebody gets hurt. I have brought this to the attention of people at the recent Residents Association meeting but nobody seems to think that it is them or people they know doing this.
 
There is also an issue with people parking half on the road/half on the path at the entrance to the estate from the Castlemartin side, behind the GAA ground. There are constantly 4-5 cars parking here, which creates a blind spot both entering and leaving the estate and there will be an incident sooner or later.

Whatever about a collision between two vehicles, I would hate to think that a pedestrian may be injured because they had to leave the path to pass on the road as access with buggies is impossible. Every house in the vicinity has more than enough parking space of its own.
