Waterford City & County Council is to implement a one-way traffic trial in the city from August 19.

The trial will take place on the Wilkin Street and Passage Roads.

A spokesperson for the local authority said the three-month trial is being implemented as part of the Safe Routes to School Scheme and is designed to help reduce traffic congestion and improve safety for all road users.

A map of the trial route is available from the Active Travel Department at Waterford City and County Council.

However, local residents expressed concern over the matter to the point they protested outside City Hall.
