FORMER MAYOR CALLS FOR CITY ALLEYWAYS TO BE CLOSED

Date Published: 02-Sep-2008

City alleyways could be merged with private properties in a bid to stamp out anti-social behaviour.

City councillor Terry O’Flaherty has tabled a motion for next week’s city council meeting, calling for a survey to be carried out of all the alleyways and laneways in the city.

She believes the alleyways could be closed and incorporated into residents gardens if they agreed.

Over the years Cllr O’Flaherty says she’s had numerous complaints regarding anti-social behaviour and illegal dumping.

Cllr O’Flaherty says residents would welcome the move.
