Louth councillor urges local authority to deal with 'dire state' of Lordship footpath
Dundalk Municipal District October meeting
Dundalk-Carlingford's Councillor Andrea McKevitt, has called on Louth County Council to tend to the weeds and overgrowth on the footpath along the Lordship straight.
Cllr McKevitt raised the matter at the Dundalk Municipal District October meeting, and says that the footpath in Lordship is in a "dire state with weeds which are now overgrown".
The Fianna Fáil councillor says that the local Tidy Towns group "are doing great work in the area, however the rate of growth of some of the weeds are beyond control of the volunteers".
Cllr McKevitt requested that the Council review the Lordship footpath along with the village of Greenore, to tackle the problem with weeds on the footpaths.
The peninsula based Councillor welcomed the council's commitment to carry out works along Lordship footpath by Senior Engineer Paddy Connolly and is hopeful they will review the situation in Greenore and address the issue.
Cllr McKevitt commended the "wonderful improvement that similar works had at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dundalk" and said that she hopes that similar works will see equal satisfaction in the Cooley Peninsula.
