I recently moved a motion at the June meeting of Greystones Town Council seeking improvements to the footpaths in Glenbrook Park.

I believe it’s very important to highlight the dangerous state of disrepair of footpaths in Glenbrook Park. These footpaths are becoming increasingly dangerous with residents often falling on them. Wicklow County Council must take immediate action to repair the footpaths in the area. I am seeking for these works to be carried out immediately.

I’m glad to report that,after my motion was passed, the Town Engineer is currently examining the possibility of addressing the issue. Areas such as Glenbrook Park have suffered in recent years as they do not qualify for footpath improvement grants from the Department of the Environment and Local Government unlike areas in Greystones Town.

I look forward to continuing to fight for these works to ensure that residents do not suffer any more unnecessary injuries from the footpaths.
