Cllr McCann calls for solution to inadequate parking at Louth Hospital.

Sinn Féin Councillor Sionainn McCann is calling on Louth County Council and the HSE to work together to find a solution to the inadequate parking at the Louth Hospital.

Cllr McCann said that “insufficient parking spaces are putting additional pressure on nearby housing estates, like Priorland Grove, whose residents can sometimes find their driveways blocked and a row of parked cars causing the road to narrow down to one lane.

“No matter when you have to visit the hospital, the car park at the back is full to capacity and the paid car park at the front is insufficient to meet the needs of the visitors to the hospital with vehicles often abandoned in yellow boxes so they make their appointments on time.”

Cllr McCann has described the situation as “frustrating to drivers and residents alike. It’s time for a co-ordinated, practical solution and I will be raising this at the next Council meeting.”
