Would be residents of the new Respond operated estate at Maudlins Brook in Duleek can t move into their homes due to COVID, a local councillor has been told.
Cllr Stephen McKee says that 30 families are very upset that they can t open their front doors as the homes are not regarded as emergency accommodation .
He told the area council meeting that it was unfair on the people who had been left in limbo by the decision.
He had raised the issue before at council level and was told there was no issue with people moving into the homes as they were deemed essential.
Meath County Council need to follow through with a plan to improve road safety in the lower end of Duleek village, according to a local councillor.
Cllr Stephen McKee says there is a growing need for traffic calming at lower Duleek due to the amount of heavy vehicles and general traffic in the area. We need something done there, he told a Meath CC meeting.
He says it is a real danger outside the post office and there is nowhere for people to safely cross the road.
He said the job at the top end of the village was great and had helped greatly.
An alternative route - that didn t impact on residents on country roads - would have to be identified before a full HGV ban is introduced in Duleek.
That s the view of Meath CC, responding to a proposal by Cllr Stephen McKee as part of the new Meath County Development Plan.
That said, Engineer Padraig Maguire did confirm that a proposal already existed in the plan that suggested levels of HGV traffic should be managed in the village.
Cllr McKee was seeking a ban on such vehicles.
Cllr Sharon Tolan said that such a ban was discussed at local level in the past but the big issue was the fear of rat runs because of it.
