A young child was killed by a truck in Mountrath Co. Laois. In Julianstown over a 1000 HGVs go through the village every day. Trucks and pedestrians/cyclists are incompatible. Why do we have this situation where our children are in danger constantly from the heavy traffic?

Can someone explain to me how Gorey can be bypassed for 10,000 vehicles when there are still 22,000 vehicles per day driving through Julianstown. All the talk about improved quality of life, etc. is as relevant for our village as for Gorey or any other bypassed town for that matter.

Julianstown will be the subject of an architectural assessment in the coming months. Meath COunty Council advertised a tender to carry out this work in the last week. Julianstown is one of the “Architectural Conservation Areas” adopted by our County Councillors in the Meath County Development Plan 2007-2013.
The tender can be viewed at

An article in the Drogheda Leader this week paints a misleading picture regarding the Old Mill Hotel in Julianstown. The article states that the Old Mill will be demolished and that a “town centre” development comprising 10 retail units and 39 appartments will be constructed.
So far no planning application has been submitted. Also the Old Mill is a protected structure and is part of the Julianstown Architectural Conservation area. Apart from that there is a cap of 23 units that can be built in Julianstown in the next 6 years.
These limitation were approved by our elected councillors in March and any variation from that plan needs their approval. It will be interesting to see if the mystery purchaser of the Old Mill has any influence over the votes of our councillors. If he or she intends to carry out the plan as advertised in the Drogheda Leader they will need to persuade the councillors to reverse their decision made in March of this year.
