The road down to Banna beach.
A LOCAL councillor has asked that safe walking and cycling routes be created to gain access to Banna beach.
At last week’s meeting of the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council, Sinn Féin Cllr Deirdre Ferris asked that the Council prioritise Banna for Active Travel applications to facilitate walking and cycling infrastructure from the Leisure Centre to the beach.
Cllr Ferris said there is always traffic congestion in the area during the summer with people walking along the sides of the road and cars trying to pass.

She said it was one of the top beaches in the world, yet there is no safe walking or cycling infrastructure to access the beach.
She said there is no public transport in the area and an alternative route for people who do not want to drive cars down to the beach should be put in place.
Cllr Ferris asked that plans would be formulated and funding sought as soon as possible to provide safe walking and cycling access to the beach.
In reply, management said Tralee Municipal District shall consider this proposal for future suitable funding submissions.

It would also be very nice if the Council put a few seats along the front. There is no place to sit down.
