Pot Hole of The Month
Cross Street
With great care and precision the PRC Pothole Team, acting on advice from many users, have surveyed the many rugged streets of Cork City looking for the most torn up and hard worn pieces of road way we could find. This month we felt that the re-opening of the courthouse (which took something like 10 years) needed to be celebrated and we therefore had to give this month’s award to Cross Street which is to the right of the courthouse as you look from the front. It links Washington St. and Liberty St. with St. Francis Church facing you as you off road down it.
If you were directing a bunch of yanks to The Washington Inn you could say it lies on the junction of “Cross and Washington”. Despite the years of work and more importantly the cash that must have been invested in the law shop City Council have not yet managed to find a few hundred quid to relieve its citizens of this amusing off road experience.
Recently skaters who have been refused a skate park over and over again have come under fire for damaging new slabs laid down outside the courthouse. If Cross Street is left deteriorate any further the skaters will have themselves a few half pipes before we hand back the title of Capital of Culture at the end of the year. Well done to Cross Street - the judges are happy to see the standard is on the rise again this year.
