Re: Tilbury site, New Rd (FCC owned)

Seems extraordinary to me in an election year that the two Councillors who are currently sitting would be against this. They'd need to start actually doing something positive for the community instead of just repeating what FCC posts. Had heard that about the Community Council that's a shame the pre...

Tidal pool

With all the development that's about to start in Donabate do you think any of our Councillors would push for getting a tidal pool built as a community gain? Think it would be a great amenity for the area.

Re: Desecration of Donabate Historical Location

Re: Houses Ballymastone Disaster

Fingal County Council voted to approve it.

Glenveagh have vowed that the portion designated for private sal...

True, got automated response from estate management, maybe the more that report it to FCC and their local Councillors the better. Feel so sorry for the Dexter team they provide Donabate with a great service and looks like their not getting much assistance with this.
