Notice of Motions

5.

Motion from Councillor Sean McGowan - Public realm works in villages

The public realm works that have been carried out in towns in the County are very welcome and will have a very good impact for these towns.
However, the County also has very picturesque villages, and they too are very important for locals and visitors alike. Therefore, I am asking what plans are there for similar public realm projects in our villages? I believe works of this nature would be very important to locations like Dromod, Drumsna, Rooskey & Jamestown, given their tourism potential.

6.

Motion from Councillor Des Guckian - Traffic Management in Dromod

That our engineers accede to the demands of the people of Dromod that a suitable and comprehensive new traffic calming and traffic management plan be drawn up by them and that it will be put before the people of Dromod and Councillors before any final decisions are made.

7.

Motion from Councillor Des Guckian - Local authority houses at Treanmore, Mohill

That, in the case of the homes for the elderly at Treanmore, Mohill, Leitrim Housing be asked to explain why some of these houses have been let to people of a much younger age who are known to be engaged in anti-social activities and bullying of their elderly neighbours.

8.

Motion from Councillor Sean McGowan - Provision of footpath between the villages of Drumsna & Jamestown

I ask the Acting Director of Services Justin Fannon to contact Roscommon County Council to find out what progress they have made with regard the provision of the footpath between the villages of Drumsna & Jamestown.

9.

Motion from Councillor Finola Armstrong McGuire - Proposal of 4 No. x 1 bed apartments at Castle Street, Mohill

I ask that the Planning Department of Leitrim County Council revisit the proposals for 4 No. x 1 bed apartments at Castle Street Mohill. Parents of children in The Hunt school have shared concerns which I believe are valid and every effort should be made to reach a better design before further costs are incurred.

10.

Motion from Councillor Paddy Farrell - Investigate dangerous section of road on the R209 where vehicles come off the L3390 from Leitrim Village direction

I call on District Engineer, Darragh O’Boyle to investigate the dangerous section of road on the R209 where vehicles come off the L3390 from Leitrim Village direction. There needs to be double white lines on the R209 or some other deterrent as there has been several incidents at this junction.

11.

Motion from Councillor Paddy Farrell - Large volume of traffic in Attirory estates

Residents in Attirory estates are very angry that their concerns about the large volume of traffic coming off the N4 are not being addressed by Leitrim County Council. This matter needs to be addressed for the safety of children and pedestrians.

12.

Motion form Councillor Thomas Mulligan - Dumping of furniture and household waste on local road No. L344820 in the townland of Cornee

I am requesting that dumping of furniture and household waste on local road No. L344820 in the townland of Cornee be removed and appropriate signage be erected to prevent similar incidents.

13.

Motion from Councillor Thomas Mulligan - Rebuild walls of bridge on the R202 in the townland of Treanmore

I  ask that the walls of a small bridge on the R202 in the townland of Treanmore be rebuilt, as in recent years they have collapsed due to a combination of increased traffic, flooding and lack of maintenance.
