FORMAL AGREEMENTS are needed to ascertain terms for street cleaning within John Paul Estate in Kilrush.

Kilrush based Cllr Ian Lynch (IND) appealed to the estate management team in Clare County Council’s housing section to reach “a formal agreement” with the West Clare Municipal District “to ensure that street cleaning is extended to within John Paul Estate”.

Alan Kennelly, senior executive engineer in the West Clare MD said, “Clare County Council road sweeper visits John Paul Estate on a regular basis. The frequency can be increased if there is an issue”.

Speaking at a meeting of the West Clare Municipal District, Cllr Lynch commented, “there was a sense of frustration during the canvass that people felt it wasn’t given the attention it needed”.

He felt the street cleaning once a month to assist with picking up rubbish and assist with grass cutting would make a big difference to the area. The proposal was seconded by Cllr Rita McInerney (FF).
