What happened to Blackpool should be a crime. A village within walking distance of Cork City almost completely derelict, the remaining bits suffering from lack of maintenance.
Should be a vibrant City neighbourhood comfortably housing a few thousand more. We should be outraged.

"Trees were planted on Pana over the weekend"
We say:

Why do Vape shops go out of their way to make their shop fronts look as unappealing as possible.

Are we finally seeing real movement on this site? Apartments were mentioned here as a possibility by the owners before. Also, why do some businesses get penalised for signage while phone and vape shops get away with it?

Our standard of shop front really needs to rise. Not fair on those shops who put effort into their premises.

This really should be removed as part of the Bishop Lucy Park works. Anyone know if it will be?

Thanks to Cllr Peter Horgan for following up. Not sure we’ll ever see a tree here again but let’s wait and see.

Lads this is a joke. Loads have been begging for more greenery in the City and all we get is excuses. Now we know we won’t get the bigger stuff since they can’t just replace trees in tree bases that are already there. Please raise a stink! Pics from @seanydunne.bsky.social

If this is the case then we can’t expect much for future greening if we can’t put new trees in ready made holes. Anyone know if this is true? @oliver.ie @theformerdanboyle.bsky.social

Good read from @dvenables.bsky.social & @maricacassarino.bsky.social on how we can pollute less, keep warm and benefit from clean air ahead of clean air night given burning solid fuel is one of Ireland's worst sources of air pollution.

Very little illegal parking in town today .
The council's "parking enforcement is just for Christmas" approach seems to be working

Just the Cork County Board bemoaning the loss of parking.
An organisation that does nothing to promote the use of public transport or cycling to get to their venues in the City

The idea is welcome but the execution isn’t good. Big plastic tubs is not a green solution and the placement is awkward and obstructive. Imagine you’re blind and you’re trying to navigate this. Instead we need to look at more permanent planting in the ground, SUDs and trees.

Ballincollig - Massive objections to Greenway
BusConnects:
Cycle lanes reduced from 2m wide to 1.5 wide
footpaths from 2m to 1.8m
Outbound bus lane removed, bus bays removed
Right turn lane restored
The watering down of the plans tie us into car dependency for the foreseeable future
