Urgent repairs sought for ‘dangerous’ damaged wall in Leitrim
‘Dangerous’ damaged wall on Dowra Road in Drumkeeran to be repaired once resources allow, a meeting of Manorhamilton Municipal District has heard.
Repairs will be carried out to a damaged wall in Leitrim which has been described as “dangerous” once funding allows.
At September’s meeting of Manorhamilton Municipal District, Cllr Mary Bohan asked that the Council replace the damaged wall on the Dowra Road in Drumkeeran.
“The whole wall from the Bank Lane to the Church needs replacing and adequate drainage,” her motion stated, adding that part of the footpath is currently closed off due to part of the wall cracking.
“There have been cracks in it for quite a long time and water is coming down. It’s quite dangerous,” she said, adding that a lot of people walk along that footpath.
Cllr Bohan put forward a motion on the same issue in February last year.
A response confirmed that local repairs will be carried out once resources allow, and District Engineer Paul McMahon told the meeting that it is a priority.
