Fianna Fáil councillor Alan Dromey has urged Cork County Council to ensure that faded road markings are renewed while contractors are already working nearby on utility or road projects. The Irish Examiner reported that Dromey called for better coordination between the local council and contractors to improve road safety and make public money go further. [1]

Councillors noted that road markings are sometimes reinstated across only a small excavation area. The Irish Examiner reported that lines along the surrounding road often remain faded or absent after the short stretches are restored. [1]

West Cork is a municipal district within the administrative area of Cork County Council. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Cork County Council recently agreed to start design processes for traffic calming measures in Drimoleague, which is one of the key villages located in the West Cork district.
