The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.My Department sought applications in September 2020 for consideration for funding of safety improvement works on regional and local roads to be carried out by local authorities during 2021. The schemes for inclusion in the application are decided by the local authorities and submitted in order of priority.The locations included in Cork City Council's application for safety improvement works in 2021 are as follows:- Blackrock Road & Park Avenue Junction- Assumption Road, Blackpool- Junctions of Linden Avenue W-E with Rosegreen Avenue and Linden Avenue N-S- Near Clogheen-Kerry Pike National School, Kerry Pike village- Junctions of Bishopstown Road w.
