Issues around parking in cycle lanes in Mayo county town

THE misuse of cycle lanes in Castlebar has again been highlighted.

Park in a cycle lane and you will get a ticket.

That's the message being sent out from the Castlebar Municipal District.

Children are unable to cycle to school, said Councillor Donna Sheridan, due to cars parking in cycle lanes. And yet they were trying to promote active travel.

She asked that there be enforcement as a matter of urgency.

“If you are parking in cycle lanes you are going to get a ticket,” she said.
