Whilst there is a foot- southern
side, there is no crossing point into the Industrial Estate and the former National primary route also encouraged high ve- hicle speeds. A traffic review carried
out in the area found the average speed to be between 64 and 69 kilo- metres per hour (KPH) with 15% of motorists travelling at 80kph, ex- ceeding the recommend- ed 50kph.
During peak times
westbound traffic on the Glounthaune road has been observed over- taking traffic queuing to enter Little Island in the right bound lane of the R623. Under the new pro-
posals a Gateway Island will be constructed at either end of the change in speed limit. The footpath will be
widened between the junction of the R263 and the railway station. The through laneways
will be reduced to 3.5 metres and the short left slip lane will be removed at the Rock Grove In- dustrial Estate.
The hard shoulder
will be removed and the central hatching will be widened. Two additional cen-
tral islands will be con- structed between the Industrial Estate and the junction with the R623, providing safety for pedestrians crossing to Rock Grove and pre- venting reckless overtak- ing of queuing vehicles. If Planning is ap-
proved it is expected that works will be completed by early 2019, ahead of the major upgrade works planned for the Jack Lynch Tunnel and Dunkettle interchange.

came together on Wednesday 1 August to showcase how they work to shape, change and improve the lives of their community on a daily basis. The East Cork town was
one of three picked by Cork County Council to repre- sent the County in this year’s award process Youghal represented the
1-5000 population centre cat- egory. Pride of place is an All-Ire-
land award that focuses on the work carried out by communi- ties in the 32 counties. From early morning
Youghal town hall was a hive of activity as representatives from a variety of communi- ty groups joined to support Youghal Tidy Towns in their Pride of Place competition entry. The morning began with
a 20 minute presentation on what is good about the har- bour town followed by a 10 minute questions and answers session. Following the presentation
the judges John Fitzgerald a former Dublin City Manager and Eddie Sheehy a retired
eastcorkjournal
Wicklow County Manager took a tour of Youghal, which concluded with an exhibition
from community groups and youth services from the sur- rounding area. Ned Brennan from Youghal
Tidy Towns said the day was a great opportunity for the area to show case the work and pride people have in their community. “The judges said they were
impressed with the inclusivity, volunteerism and community spirit in Youghal “added Mr Brennan. Both judges will review
their visit to sweet Youghal bay, with the winners an- nounced at a ceremony in Cork City Hall on 16 Novem- ber.
East Cork has had a num-
ber of successes in the Pride of Place competition in recent years. Last year, Carrigtwohill
were awarded top prize in their Category population 2,000-5,000, While Bally- macoda/Ladysbridge were runners up in their category, Population 30 – 1,000. In 2015 Castlemartyr vil-
lage also won the overall prize with a population centre of 1-2000.
