Placename Sign for Laurelton Now to be provided - Ryan
Issued : Tuesday 2 February, 2010
Kingscroft Developments will have a place name sign for Laurelton Estate, Swords, in place within the next two weeks.
Local residents had been in contact with me regarding the need for a place-name sign to be erected for the estate. Local people had very serious concerns that Fire/Ambulance services would not be able to find the estate in case of emergency. I have also been told that letters posted to residents have gone missing in the past.
Fingal County Council has confirmed with me that the developer of Laurelton requested that the development be taken in charge in March 2006. Inspections of the roads, open spaces and underground services were undertaken to ensure that the development was constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Council and that ongoing maintenance works had been carried out. Defects and items requiring maintenance were brought to the attention of the developer.
I understand from the council’s Transportation Department that remedial works are now at an advanced stage and that the developer has recently advised them that adequate resources will be allocated to the development to secure early completion of outstanding items. I have been told that a date for bringing the development before a meeting of the County Council for consideration of taking-in-charge will be set following satisfactory completion of the remedial works.
Following my representations to Kingscroft Development Ltd, I am happy to inform Laurelton residents that the company has informed me that the sign has been ordered and that it will be put in place within the next 14 days.
