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) .

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 .
