Tramore River Walkway Clean-Up

Posted by Emmet O'Halloran

Tramore River Flooded Due to Debris

Earlier this month I tabled a motion to Cork City Council asking that the Tramore River Walkway be cleaned up to make it more attractive for the public to use. The walkway which has been very popular has become overgrown and unsightly in recent years. However there is now a huge potential to kickstart the regeneration of the Kinsale/Tramore Road area by cleaning up the river walkway.

 The walkway which stretches from Harvey Norman on the Kinsale Road to Togher has fallen foul to the high density of industry in the area. However under the new Cork City Development Plan, the Kinsale/Tramore Road area has been highlighted as an area for rejuvenation and I believe that the restoration of the walkway should be central to any future plans.

 At a time when green areas and public walkways are becoming somewhat of a collector’s item in the city, it is important that we move to ensure that we reclaim the Tramore River walkway by making it more attractive to the public as an amenity site
