A local bus company has been forced to cancel one of its routes due to illegal parking to the entry of Shroove Beach.<\/p>\n

Foyle Coaches Redcastle announced that their Local Link services 957 and 953 have been cancelled for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

The bus company says that all services will now terminate and depart from Greencastle instead of Shroove, as their buses cannot access their stop at the beach.<\/p>\n

Bus cancellations and access issues have been plaguing the beach for a number of years.<\/p>\n

Donegal County Council attempted to stem the illegal parking issue on the tight access to Shroove by laying down new double-yellow lines along the road earlier this year.<\/p>\n

However images shared by Foyle Coaches today show a dozen or more vehicles still parking on the sides of the single-lane access road to the beach in defiance of the yellow line rules.<\/p>\n

This incident comes less than two weeks after the newly-elected Cathaoirleach of the Inishowen Municipal District Martin Farren had stated that those illegally parking at Shroove “would be prosecuted.”<\/a><\/p>\n

“It has been a difficult few years, in trying to get the work carried out. I would now ask that those who are going to the beach would respect the double yellow lines and not illegally park,” Cllr Farren said at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A local bus company has been forced to cancel one of its routes due to illegal parking to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-546165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
