That's excluding land rental/purchase costs
Additional car parking at Bennekerry school and church is likely to cost in the region of €20,000.
Carlow County Council's Eamonn Brophy advised members of representations received from Cllr Fergal Browne regarding traffic congestion and parking space availability in the vicinity of the school and church in Bennekerry.
Members at the June meeting of Carlow Municipal District heard that discussions commenced in 2017 with a local landowner regarding the availability of lands for a potential development of a car park.
The site approximately 1,100m sq. is being assessed regarding the number of car parking spaces achievable, sight lines for access/egress, pedestrian access, security, restrictions to development and rental cost.
Mr Brophy advised that the likely costs are in a region of €20,000 excluding land rental/purchase costs.
Cllr John Cassin requested details of a full proposal which would include the land costs and Cllr Fintan Phelan and Cllr Andrea Dalton confirmed their support to go ahead with the proposal.
