Submission – total road closure, 20-06-2018
Great that the following Youth Club grants have been approved by the ETB Youth Committee this week …

Ward and Burke are proposing two complete road closures in #PassageWest. The first is to lay the sewer in the road from Glenbrook Wharf – Lucia Place during July/August and the second is to lay it from the Town Hall – Oysterhaven Boats (ish) during September/October. They say they need these closures to lay the sewer. In addition to this, Ward and Burke already have permission to close the Back Road for July and other partial closures between Passage West, Glenbrook and Monkstown.
The presentation given by Ward & Burke to councillors on these proposed complete road closures is here:
Passage West Road Closure Presentation
The first road closure was advertised today. Because it will have a significant effect on businesses, residents and travel, there is much concern about it. The only opportunity to have these concerns heard and worked around is to make a submission to the road closure application. A petition outlining those concerns has been distributed to the businesses today and will be collected on Tuesday for forwarding to Cork County Council. The text of that petition is here:
You can make your own submission to Cork County Council if you wish by emailing roadclosures@corkcoco.ie or by writing to Director of Services, Roads & Transportation, Cork County Council, The Courthouse, Skibbereen, Co. Cork. The closing date for receipt of submissions is Wednesday, 20th June. There is no fee for making the submission.
This morning (31st May 2018), An Bord Pleanála granted Indaver Ireland planning permission to build an incinerator in Ringaskiddy to burn 240,000 tonnes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste each year. This is the third planning application from Indaver for an incinerator on this site. Each time, the people of Cork Harbour have fought to keep Indaver out of Cork Harbour. Each time, against all odds, they have won. This below is the link to today’s grant of planning from the Board. In doing so, they followed a trend of overturning the recommendation of their Senior Planning Inspector. Every Planning Inspector who has scrutinised this or any of the previous planning applications has said that this is the wrong site for an incinerator.
We will fight on.
I was so honoured and grateful to be asked to Scoil Barra Naofa, Monkstown today to raise their fifth Green Flag. They were awarded this flag for more than a year of work on learning about, talking about and encouraging biodiversity. It follows on their previous Green Flag achievements for Waste, Energy, Travel/Transport and Water. The following is (more or less!) the little speech I gave to the wonderfully attentive children:
Rowan View Developments applied for planning permission to build a 3 storey apartment development on the green beside Doodlebugs in Pembroke Wood. The County Council granted permission for the development. At the request of the Residents Association, I appealed the development to An Bord Pleanála on 15th May. The text of my appeal is at the link below:
