It might be a good idea to lobby some of the councillors or prospective councillors from Rush/ Lusk as Donabate is now part of their local electorial area. With local elections approaching in May I'm sure a few of them would be glad of the possibility of gaining a few extra votes in Donabate!

Good to see some progress on this, hopefully the council will see some sense and remove this unnecessary hinderence on people's everyday lives.

Exactly, 10:45 isn't that late, there are plenty of legitimate reasons why people would need to travel through after that time. And even if it was just people coming back from a "few pints", would that make it justified to restrict their movements? Last time I checked, going to the pub and...

If people wish to return home to any of the houses at the back of B...

Beresford is only a new estate and yet it already has access to the adjacent estate. The houses in Beverton adjoining Ballisk were built almost 15 years ago and they are still blocked by a locked gate in the evening and at night because of the complaints of a tiny handful of Ballisk residents.

No other two estates in Donabate are blocked by a locked gate. It makes no sense that a handful of residents in Ballisk (one of whom has access to both sides of the gate anyway) should restrict the movements of hundreds of Beverton residents. Anti-social behaviour will occur with the gate or without...
