Chapel Road pathway to Portmarnock train station
Hundreds of people living on Chapel road have the right to safely access Portmarnock train station via a safe pathway/cycle way.
The aim of this petition is to go to Minister for Housing and Local Government to ask for him support to award the necessary funding to Fingal County Council to fund the land acquisition and the development of a safe accessible pathway/ cycle way as promised under the Kinsealy Local Area plan .
Why is this important?
1. Hundreds of people living on Chapel road are dependent on cars to get access to a train station only a short distance away ( less than 2k) .
2. People risk their lives every day walking or cycling on treacherous Chapel road which has no paths, cycleways, street lights and poor drainage.
3. Poor parking at Portmarnock train station means Chapel road residents have limited options for commuting into work.
4. Chapel road residents have a right to be able to choose walking and cycling to help support positive climate change .
5. Stop climate pollution from unnecessary car journeys . Research has shown access to public transport significantly cuts car journeys .
6. Fingal County council have failed to listen to Chapel road residents and implementation of local area plan active travel development .
