Community Council Welcome Banteer Village Roads Works

Banteer, Lyre, Nadd, and Districts Community Council welcome the news that Cork County Council will, in the next 2 or 3 weeks, carry out works to improve some of the existing road from the railway road crossing to the railway station entrance gate, and further if the funding allows.

The long term plan is to resurface/drain the Railway road and Clonmeen road and the Community Council have also requested that remaining work be included on the 2025 roads programme as the Railway road, Clonmeen road and some of the Kanturk road are in extremely poor state. The local community council has been lobbying for resurfacing, drainage works etc. on these roads for the last 5 or 6 years.

These roads are subject to major traffic volumes each day of the year versus other roads in the Duhallow area, and the road surface has been patched many many times.

Nadd village is due a 2nd flashing speed sign on the Cork side of the village, and a speed cushion to control speed via the village.
