LMFM By Ruth O Connell Within an hour of the information being uploaded the local authority will be sent the exact GPS location
Labour councillor Michelle Hall says a new app for pothole claims launched by the insurer of local authorities, will relieve some of the burden from Louth County Council
Cllr Hall - who is the Louth nominee to Irish Public Bodies Insurance (IPB), says the app will streamline the whole claims process and should inform councils about where potholes most urgently need to be filled.
She says with the wet weather and Level 5 restrictions on road maintenance, more potholes have been forming this year but with this new system, within an hour of the information being uploaded to the app by the claimant, Louth County Council will be notified of the exact location.

LMFM By Marc O Driscoll Several controversial motions dominated the day s proceedings and left some councillors feeling short-changed.
A marathon five-hour Meath County Council monthly meeting did not prove long enough for councillors yesterday.
Several members were left frustrated after time was called on the virtual meeting before their proposals could be discussed.
The council s monthly meetings were moved online to comply with public health guidelines and allow more time for the local authority to conduct its business - and more time was indeed needed yesterday.
However, standing orders meant that the meeting could not be extended any further despite over five hours of deliberations.
