Noise update
Meath County Council have now officially admitted that they have failed to meet the 18 July deadline to produce a noise action plan for Julianstown. This is despite issuing a statement to the press that they were not in breach of any regulations and would be meeting their commitments on time.
Although the council has statutory responsibility for production of the plan, the local authority is blaming the EPA for not delivering vital information to them in time. The latest news is that it will be expediting its way from Dublin up to Navan by Wednesday 29 July.
The council is truly lacking in credibility here. Dublin has already put its plan on display and opened a public consultation. Their noise maps have also been on the web for quite some time.
See here.
Concern has to be expressed at the attention this is being given within Meath County Council given the serious public health issues that the noise study raises.
