TARMACADAM SURFACE SUGGESTED FOR CITY'S SHOP STREET
Officials are to examine the possibility of resurfacing the city's Shop Street and nearby streets in order to make them safer and more wheelchair friendly.
Some councillors suggested replacing the damaged and dangerous cobblestone with tarmacadam, given the high number of falls and lawsuit.
Cllr Declan McDonnell suggested a tarmac pathway each side for wheelchair users as this would be more cost efficient than full tarmacing.
Mr Hayes agreed that a full report would be given to councillors in 6 months time.
