10 Minute Towns |Access i b i l i t y & Framework Repor t
Retail Figure 12 shows that the majority of Carlow is within a 10-minute walking distance of retail services (i.e. supermarkets and corner shops), with the exception of the northeast and southern area of the town. Residents in areas where they are not within a walking distance to retail services would be more likely to drive to supermarkets or walk longer distances than 10 minutes.
Additional retail facilities at these locations may not be feasible (or desirable from a retail planning perspective) as the population densities are too low for the business to survive. Residents on the outskirts would typically drive to retail facilities as parking is conveniently available (e.g. SuperValu in Sandhills SC, Tesco Superstore at Fair Green SC, and Dunnes Stores on Sleaty Rod/N80).
