Carlow

As a motorhome owner resident in Carlow I observe with interest any visiting MH owners and where they park. There are no facilities for MH owners in Carlow town which is a shame. Occasionally throughout the fairer months a MH or two will park up in the above mentioned carparks but they risk being moved.
There is potential for development in all the above mentioned carparks and also in other areas within the town.
There is a huge opportunity for the local council to tap in to the MH community and develop a site such as "The Hub" in neighbouring Graiguenamanagh. A large derelict site at the rear of the town hall, beside the river Barrow and very close to town shops and restaurants and many more facilities would make an ideal Aire for MH owners wanting to spend a night or two in Carlow town. We live in hope

Yes driver instructor lorry there most nights, garda station just across the road said lorry owner has permission to park there. I asked about camper vans and was told that the odd one ok to stay overnight but council afraid of encouraging 'undesirables'. Traffic warden on duty from 9am-5pm Mon-Sat. The more MH owners who come to Carlow for a night or two the better. Pressure needs to be put on Councils around the country to provide facilities for MH owners.

good description of council officials!! However I'll keep the issue alive & keep the Motor Home issue to the fore of any

conversations I will with council officials going forward (they run the other way when they see me!)
