RESIDENTS from the largest estate in Shannon are to hold a protest this Friday morning.
On Friday morning, residents of Cronan Estate are to hold a protest outside the offices of the Shannon Municipal District to share their frustration with the standard of grass cutting in the area.
Cronan Gardens, Cronan Grove, Cronan Lawn and Cronan Park are all included within the vast estate.
Chairman of the Cronan Residents Association, Derek Clune said there has only been one cut done in Cronan so far this year, on February 28th. “Cronan Estate looks like a silage field at the moment and this is totally unacceptable. I have made several complaints to Council and was informed that a second cut was done on the 19th of March which is totally false as the 19th of March was of a Sunday and no grass was cut that day”.
Clune stresse a big turnout was necessary “to show the Council that this situation is completely unacceptable and cannot be allowed to continue”.
Grass cutting in the town of Shannon proved to be one of the main election issues prior to the 2019 local election with sitting councillors “getting it in the neck” as one councillor later put it over the quality of cuts across thew town.
