- Cllr. Ger Corcoran: “That Westmeath County Council” takes immediate steps to ensure operational street lights at the following venues.
Dalystown National School, one light and pole fitted but never illuminated, provision for two additional lights complete with underground cabling and support sockets but never fitted. This was supposed to be sorted as far back as 2008.
Out of four lights along Castleview Avenue Tyrrellspass only one currently working. Light on Church side of street also not working.’
Reply: Kilbeggan Area Office have contacted ESB and Airtricity regarding the light at Dalystown School and have been advised that this light is now connected. The two additional lights were never scheduled to be erected; the ducting etc was installed for future use. Airtricity have repaired the faults at Castle Avenue.
- Cllr. Ger Corcoran: ‘That Westmeath county council updates members of any progress on establishing a bus / stop/ shelter at Rochfortbridge near the supermarket. That the establishment of the shelter becomes a priority.’
Reply: The area Engineer will ascertain whether there is a suitable location to install a new bus shelter in line with Bus Eireann’s current specification. If there is, it will be a matter for the Members to allocate appropriate funding in 2011. It should be noted that if new stops are provided at this location the existing stops will have to be decommissioned.
