Clonmel roundabouts could be sponsored

This is in contrast to a recent decision by their counterparts in Nenagh who opposed such a move.

The scheme will enable companies and organisations to sponsor the upgrade of roundabouts at a number of locations in the vicinity of Cahir and Clonmel in return for company signage.

Councillor Andy Moloney says this will be a huge benefit to Tidy Towns Groups but points out there are restrictions in place with what can and cannot be displayed.

The Independent representative had proposed such a scheme over 12 months ago – he says while it did take some time to bring it to this stage it was important that there was full discussion and that everyone's voice was heard.

Details of the Roundabout Scheme are available on tipperarycoco.ie. The closing date for tenders in March 4th and it's a five year contract.
