Much needed upgrades to Crumlin Village shouldn’t cause upset to locals – Ardagh

11/4/2018

Fianna Fáil Senator Catherine Ardagh has said that the upgrade works which have begun to get under way will transform Crumlin into a safe village for road users and make it a more attractive place for people to go about their daily lives.

The works will be carried out as part of the Crumlin Village Environmental Improvement Scheme are long overdue in the area and are aimed at improving the streetscape and road safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.

The Senator said, “Our urban community in Crumlin is home to almost 15,000 residents in the heart of Dublin.

“Its prime strategic location makes Crumlin a village that has huge potential to be developed into a suburb that people from across the city come to visit - whether it’s to grab a cup of tea with a friend for a catch-up, pick up groceries or run their errands.

“With all construction, a certain level of disturbance is to be expected but I call on those contracted by the Council to minimise disruption to local businesses and the general public. 

“Local residents are understandably disappointed that a number of very beautiful cherry blossom trees which have been in the village for two decades were cut down yesterday evening while in full bloom.

“I have been informed by the Council that more appropriate trees will be re-planted at the junction with Windmill Road. It’s just a shame that after a long winter, these pretty Cherry Blossoms couldn’t have been left for another number of days for locals to enjoy.

“That said, I have no doubt that these works will improve the quality of life of older people living in the area particularly the upgrading of poor quality footpaths and the installation of recreational seating.

Senator Ardagh concluded, “I will be working with local business and residents to ensure that disruption is contained and that we can all look forward to these works improving Crumlin overall.”

I just read your update regarding upgrading Crumlin Village...Whilst I agree Village needs upgrade I am so annoyed this morning to see all the beautiful cherry blossoms in the village all chopped down this morning. !!!!An act of vandalism if nothing else..what was the idea behind cutting down all the lovely trees?? These were a beautiful natural sight for "our village" and were also cover for the horrible concrete Post Office building...it is an act of vandalism if nothing else . I would be obliged to hear from you regarding the logic behind such a decision.... a very annoyed Crumlin Village resident. Helen Egan
