They say that all politics is
local and that seems to be proving true for Sinn Féin candidate Mick Roche who
says he is delighted that the County Council have agreed to fix a fallen perimeter
fence surrounding an estate in Kilrane.
The fence in Pairc Naomh Padraig had been a source of concern for local
residents for some time.
"I met some residents while
canvassing the area last week who said they were very upset over the condition
of a fence around the perimeter of their estate," Mr Roche said, "The fence had blown over in the recent
storms and had been quite loose and a danger to passersby even before
that. Residents were particularly
concerned that it posed a danger to their children."
"After petitioning the
County Council to get this fence fixed, I am delighted that they have agreed to
have it repaired. Unfortunately there is
no funding available at the moment to build a permanent block wall but I have
been assured that the fence will be secured and made completely safe."
"Sometimes people think
politics is all about bail outs, corruption and bickering between parties but it
should be about helping people with those seemingly smaller issues that may be
causing them great distress."
