Retailers Battle Mayor’s August Street Closures | Cork News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Over 100 Limerick retailers are rallying against the mayor’s August street closures, warning they’ll cripple vital back-to-school sales—some likening the impact to losing Christmas trade. While the mayor touts “low-impact traffic measures” for summer events like obstacle races and an urban beach, merchants fear closures—especially of The Crescent—will slash foot traffic and revenue, citing past losses and even questioning the mayor’s impartiality. A special council meeting has been postponed for legal review, as the mayor insists alternatives exist and calls for transparent feedback from traders caught in this high-stakes clash between city events and economic survival.
