GOLF SOCIETY

Restrictions are still in place e.g. dressing rooms not in use.  One person per buggy unless family members. No presentation on the day, prizes to follow at a later date. Score cards to be placed in the box provided after the 18th. Captain Willie Kenna.

PARKING

As well as the new car park in Laragh which opened recently, a second new car park is opening at Luggala for weekends only. This should go some way to alleviate the parking situations we have highlighted over the last months. There is now absolutely no excuse for illegal and dangerous parking in the uplands. This car park which is free to use will open to the public from 01/08/20 from 9am. This is a much needed facility especially at the weekends when traffic and parking have been a major safety concern and we congratulate the landowner and Wicklow County Council for working together to make it happen. Gardaí will still be operating in the area and will be towing illegally or dangerously parked vehicles.
