"Could the Chief Executive ensure that the following  outstanding issues in relation to works at Newlands cross be addressed.

1. The noise emanating from the large gantry on the new flyover which affects Newlands residents at all times, but especially at night.

2. The noise that rings out when a vehicle drives over the

manhole covers on the slip road which is adjacent to the Newlands houses. The manhole covers are near to the aforementioned gantry.

To call on the Manager to examine and pilot a new text alert initiative to report the misuse of disabled parking bays and to encourage members of the public to report offenders via a free text service.

This is currently being piloted in Gorey Municipal District, Wexford County Council

Non-blue badge holders who use the parking spaces can be fined €80. The new alert system will assist the Council in applying the fine to offenders and it would be a welcome initiative to counteract ongoing problems within our county
