Chairman Frank Fahy has recently made submissions on behalf of RIPPLE to RPS, the Consultants appointed by Cork County Council to carry out the Hydrological Study which is an essential element required to progress the flood alleviation measures currently being formulated for the town.
Three submissions were made by the Chairman which included the small harbour proposal for the Marsh, the tree planting program under the Neighbour Scheme for the Marsh and the flood alleviation barrier on the Caol Stream.
He received assurances that all three proposals would be given consideration. He also sought assurances that feasibility of the proposal for the Car Park in the Marsh and its likely effects on flooding would receive urgent attention in the study. Skibbereen Town Council consider the development of this Car Park to be a priority to improve traffic flow in the town
