Cllr. Seamus Coyle has been approached by numerous locals regarding car parking on the Castleblayney Road junction end of town and the lack of traffic warden activity. The Latton based official has continuously raised this matter with the Executive of Monaghan County Council.
He recently posed the following question to a council meeting :
“While there is great appreciation in Ballybay for the New Car Park at the Courtyard in addition to the Clones Road Car Park there is great dissatisfaction among shoppers and the business community who are the rate payers to Monaghan County Council that there is no presence in the town of Monaghan County Council Traffic Wardens, particularly on the Castleblayney Road side of town where parking spaces are limited and would appear to have some vehicles parked in spaces for lengthy periods. Will Monaghan County Council immediately appoint additional Traffic Wardens to cover all the Towns in the County as it appears to be an issue across Monaghan?”
The following answer was supplied to Cllr. Coyle:
“The Monaghan Municipal District manages the provision of Traffic Warden services to each of the Towns in the County. The Municipal District of Ballybay Clones will request the Monaghan Municipal District to provide an appropriate Traffic Warden service to the towns of Ballybay and Clones”.
