  • 15 November 2023 Navan carried

    As a landlord with responsibility for the maintenance of 1,400 local authority houses in Navan, I ask the Executive of Navan Municipal District Council to ring-fence funding to cover plumbing costs this winter, particularly during the Christmas period. The fund would only be used if the Council’s own plumbing services have been overwhelmed. The fund would allow a tenant to hire the services of a plumbing contractor to repair heating systems.

Meath, The development would contravene materially the following objectives of the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027: The site of the proposed development is zoned F1 - Open Space with the definitive land use zoning objective ‘To provide for and improve open spaces for active and passive recreational amenities.’ The proposed development is not listed as a ‘permitted’ or ‘open for consideration’ land use under the F1 zoning objective.

  • 5 December 2023 Ashbourne carried

    To ask the executive to actively pursue a smaller public site in Ashbourne to develop an off-leash dog park. Ashbourne remains Meath's second largest town with a population of 15,680, up 24 percent since the last census. The population is projected to continue to grow at that rate. With more apartments being built under the new housing model, dog owners will have even fewer options to walk and exercise their dogs. Without anywhere to walk and potty the dogs, green areas where children play are being used with the resultant dog fouling on playing fields and on footpaths. There is no green space to walk dogs in Ashbourne and given that a public park is many years away, a smaller off-leash dog park may be a more feasible proposition.
