Donegal Town residents have again expressed frustration at the number of campervans who are illegally parked on footpaths.
Last month, we reported that up to 20 campervans had parked up at the pier car park during the May Bank Holiday weekend – many parked in a manner that completely blocked a footpath.
Following that incident, Donegal County Council issued a formal reminder to all using the space to park responsibly.
However once again locals have contacted Donegal Daily after a number of campervans again blocked paths in the area this weekend, restricting access for pedestrians – particularly for those with reduced mobility.
One of the campervans illegally parked in Donegal Town this weekend.
“Campervans again blocking footpaths for wheelchair users and people with children in buggies,” said one local resident.
“All were UK reg vehicles.”
The resident also expressed outrage at the apparent lack of response from local Gardaí despite multiple illegal parking incidents there in recent months.
“The Guards are supposed to police this at the weekends and out of hours. The Garda station is across the road,” they said.
