    Hi all some advice needed please.
    We are looking at two houses in the Derrymore Estate and Oakleigh Woods building complex/ estate on the Tulla road Ennis Co Clare.
    These two estates seem to have only the one exit onto the Tulla road in ennis and what I'm wondering is if anyone is living there and on here can you tell me what the traffic is like getting out of these estates in the morning please. I have asked people up there that actually live there but just wanted a second opinion.

    Thanks in advance

    Tellinng you to listen to people you know live there over people you don't know on the internet is constructive :rolleyes:

    P.S One person doesn't consist of people. You said people in your opening post which indicates multiple persons.

    Hi op could you not go up some morning and have a walk around early to see what it is like for yourself.

    You probably won't get much help on here.

    It's crazy
    Looney
    A pain in the ass
    Did the residents up there tell you about the campaign for a roundabout at the main road?

    Cappahard is not at the back of anything it's an entire development on the right hand side of the road when travelling towards Tulla
    Oakleigh wood is on the lift up a hill (on a side note the gradient on the entrance meant people were trapped in the frost/snow in 2008/2009)

    Where exactly are you looking at??

    Then you are looking at chaos every morning if heading towards town

    Angelfire thanks for all ur replies I appreciate it. Just one more thing as you sound like someone who actually lives up there. We would not be driving towards town we would be turning left for by pass, but I'm just wondering is the problem just getting out of the estate to turn left gona be the big problem.

    Thanks again

    When you get to the head of the road, no, but you have to wait for all the school going mammies ahead of you between 8.30 and 9 most of which will be turning right as the road isn't wide enough for two lanes your still gonna get stuck

    Oakleigh wood and Derrymore are lovely OP but as Anglefire mentioned, the intersection onto the Tulla Rd is a nightmare (i live in Cappahard), and as Anglefire mentioned, if we get bad snow or ice, that hill is potentially lethal. I have recently bout a house and didn't even look at there for those very reasons.
