Parking Spaces, At Aldi Thurles, Sinking Under Water.

**Aldi Thurles driving customers away, due to flooded car parking spaces.**

Regular shoppers to ALDI, the German multinational family-owned discount supermarket situated at Kickham Street, Lognafulla, Thurles, Co, Tipperary, are being forced to venture off to shop elsewhere, due to customers being asked to exit their vehicles, to walk in up to 7.62cm of water (3in) every time it rains.

It would appear that the parking areas at Aldi Thurles, latter possible one of the best shopping experiences in Thurles, has sunk due to constant heavy traffic and is now badly in need of immediate maintenance.

Sadly, only 10% of parking spaces are free of water within the area provided, forcing people to chance using invalid vehicle appointed spaces or go shop elsewhere.
Why this has been allowed to happen all during this winter period, Aldi, when contacted this morning were unable to answer, but promised to immediately examine the problem.

DrugWipe Tests Identify Tipperary Drug Drivers.

Tipperary Roads Policing Unit, in the last number of days, patrolling the Roscrea area, identified a motor vehicle attempting to evade Gardaí.
The vehicle was halted before being seized for no Insurance, no NCT and no Motor Tax. The driver of the vehicle was also arrested on suspicion of Drug Driving, having failed a DrugWipe test for Cannabis.

On January 7th last, Tipperary Roads Policing Unit halted a vehicle for having a densely tinted windscreen and side windows. An examination which was carried out, confirmed that the driver, as a result of the tinting, had poor visibility of the roadway, which is both illegal and constituted a danger to other road users.
The driver was also arrested on suspicion of Drug Driving, having failed a DrugWipe test for Cocaine.
