Owner offers council solution to Well Lane South issue
By Sean Moriarty
The owners of a gated delivery entrance at the bottom of Well Lane South say they are willing to engage with Killarney Municipal Council so pedestrian access to the laneway from the Beech Road/New Street car parks can be improved.
The laneway, which recently received a €40,000 grant towards improvement works, has long courted controversy.
Cllr Donal Grady has labelled the lane as “the worst in Ireland” while Tidy Town Competition judges consistently give the area bad marks.
The recent grant will be put towards surface repair works.
The gated entrance at the bottom of the lane was built in the 1990s as previously there were concerns about unauthorised vehicle access to the lane and attempts to place bollards there were unsuccessful.
The property is owned by local auctioneer Michael Coughlan who says he is willing to engage with the council and sell his property to help solve the access issue in the lane.
“The time the gate was built, it was all done the way the council wanted it, the bollards kept getting removed late at night and this was seen as a solution at that time,” Michael Coughlan told the Killarney Advertiser. “We came close to deals in the past but for one reason or another it fell down at the last minute, engineers retired, the town council’s powers were removed and so on. I am willing to talk to them and see what can be done.
