A Clonmel councillor is calling for a change to the parking permit policy for the town.
Independent Niall Dennehy says the expansion of parking meters is nothing more than a revenue generator and is negatively impacting residents who live in the town.
He says that people who live on streets with a meter can only have one car with a permit which is ‘grossly unfair.’
When he raised the issue with the executive he was told this was policy and therefore, now wants the policy examined.
“Well I don’t know where this is coming from and I don’t know the executive seems to have lost sight that the councillors are the policy makers and they enforce policy on behalf of the council so I demanded a policy change.”
