Local Issues |
|
- Vandalism
, Something unfortunately on the increase and affecting everyone in town.
We must work to eliminate the climate in which vandals thrive
- Drugs
: Again on the increase, the Gardai must be assisted by every means possible to
combat this.
- Environment Litter
: We have a litter problem which is being addressed but more needs
to be done.
- Green spaces
: Our green spaces in town are disappearing and not being replaced this
has to be reversed
- Playground:
A town our size needs a decent area in which our children can play under
supervision.
- Pedestrian crossings
: This is absolutely crazy, that we have so many dangerous
crossings that could be made safe with a pedestrian crossing. Officials are dragging their
feet on this one. This is a priority.
- Town Development
: Our town is developing at a rapid pace and our infrastructure can
not keep up, this has to be treated more even-handedly to avoid creating more problems.
- Parking:
At the moment it is impossible to park in the town center, We need more
parking maybe even multi-story parking.
- Rubbish Collection
, There is no reason why this can not be done in the evenings; we
can’t keep interrupting traffic in the busy town center.
- Traffic Management
, Our towns one way system and traffic lights are in my opinion
only making things worse, not better, this needs fixing straight away.
- Railway line / Station:
Our rail line needs upgrading immediately its ridiculous
that in this day and age that it take 4 hours to get to Dublin on the train.
- Condition of Roads Pathways and derelict buildings:
This is a constant battle, and
often only for basic things, I am a great believer in fixing the small things, it displays
a caring attitude.
- Tourism
: Our town has a lot to offer tourists, Lough Lannagh Village for example,
And soon Turlough House will open, We can do so much more when we really want to,
- Local facilities/ services:
Some of our towns services need upgrading badly e.g.,
the post office and the pool
- Urban Boundaries services rates etc:
It is high time that the urban boundary was
extended properly, this is distorting our town’s development.
- Education our schools:
our schools are one of the resources we can not afford to
neglect, Castlebar is well served with forward looking schools, but some are still lacking
much needed facilities.
- Jobs retail industrial office etc:
Our young people need jobs locally, which means
they will not have to immigrate. I am committed to attracting new industry to the town.
