Cllr Cathal Foley.

THERE are no plans to provide extra parking facilities in town to accommodate people who want to use the Tralee to Fenit Greenway.

At the online meeting of Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council on Tuesday, Sinn Féin Cllr. Cathal Foley asked had the Council investigated providing parking facilities at the head of the Tralee to Fenit Greenway, in the vicinity of the railway station.

In reply, Council management informed councillors there are no plans to provide additional car parking capacity in the vicinity of the Tralee trail head as it is anticipated that users will join the amenity at multiple access points throughout the town having departed from their accommodation or home.

Cllr Foley said he was disappointed with the reply. He feels the town centre should be promoted as the starting point of the greenway and he had concerns that people will park in the Caherslee and Mounthawk area to access the facility.

He said there is ample land by the railway that is not being used, which could provide parking facilities.

    I feel people do have a point, parking points throughout the greenway walk would make it more feasible for the public?
