4.17 Crookstown
4.17.1 The vision for Crookstown is to secure an increase in the population of the village, to maintain and improve local services
and facilities, to strengthen infrastructure provision, to enhance the streetscape, to consolidate the settlement and to
provide for additional community facilities.
4.17.2 In 2021 the National Transport Agency approved 3 traffic and transportation interventions in the Macroom MD, in
Killumney / Ovens, Crookstown and Coachford. This investment in towns and villages is additional to the on-going
regional and urban bus service infrastructure upgrades being delivered by the Council, and again funded by the NTA,
which will see the upgrade of 44 no. bus stops countywide, 35 no. to accessible standard, at a cost of €1.2 million.
