Information taken from Facebook polls , January 2023, from local residents. Footpaths urgently needed: -Bettystown to Donacarney 700m (Whitefield Manor to Scoil Naisiunta Réalt Na Mara) -Mornington to Donacarney 1.4km (Garra Road, from Bramble Wood to Castle Glen) -Donacarney to Gaelscoil an Bhradáin Feasa 1.4km (Dun Cairn to Colpe Road / new roundabout) -Bettystown Cross to St Colmcilles Pilltown ground ROAD SAFETY ISSUES: -Massive safety concerns from may residents on Pilltown road: need footpaths and lighting. -New roundabout at Colpe road= badly planned/ designed: 2 lanes on arrival but more narrow on roundabout -Reminder to residents of Grangerath that they don’t have priority as they exit estate. Reports of near-accidents every day on social media -footpath at narroways road, bettystown, at the bend going towards Tesco's = too narrow = very dangerous. Reported near accidents every day. -Speed bumps around Mornington court= cars/buses at high speed , not safe - The roundabout at Whitefield Manor/Hall is dangerous, you can't see oncoming traffic properly, bushes need to be removed.= lots of comments on this -Speed restrictions on Church road -Uninterrupted Footpaths all the way from Colpe new roundabout to Centra Mornington. STREET LIGHTS NEEDED : -All around Whitefield Manor/ Eastham area -Garra road , all around Mornington ENVIRONMENTAL : -More bins on main roads. Many residents complain about lack of bins or overflowing bins. My local bus stop on Garra rd has overflowing bins every week, littering by teenagers every day: education about littering and the environment would be much needed in local schools. CHILDREN PLAYGROUND/ YOUTH CLUB 1 . A playground in Donacarney or Mornington would be very welcome. Local residents could enjoy it without having to drive to the small playgrounds of Bettystown or the one in Laytown. Benefits: -reduction of traffic / congestion If families can walk more = reduction of carbon emissions -improved quality of life and opportunities to socialise for children 2. Teenagers need a youth club, or maybe a skate park to keep busy and off the streets. Huge rise in anti social behaviour around Bettystown from teenagers who are clearly bored after school/ weekends. Residents have pointed out that there is nothing to do for teenagers locally which is true No youth club with activities / No skate park Co Meath council needs to invest in young people. Maybe the new BT library could have a room specifically for teenagers offering appropriate activities and classes ( Art, music, martial arts etc) The council needs to take action NOW and work appropriately with local residents, farmers, companies, schools and other stakeholders in order to create a better community. The majority of people here are hard working tax-payers who deserve better infrastructure. The general view from residents is that Meath council is extremely slow and ineffective. the Proof is some foothpaths were planned/ funded in 2018 and nothing has happened. This is unacceptable not to have basic road/walking infrastructure in a rich country in Europe in 2023

To: Tipperary County Council We are writing to you as the Cloughjordan Dark Sky Group, based in Cloughjordan village. We are aware that new street lighting is soon to be installed on Main Street Cloughjordan to replace the old sodium lights there. We would ask that you install the best lighting option for everyone in the village. Sometimes, the lighting installed in public spaces is much stronger and brighter than needed, which leads to light pollution and problems for human and ecological health. We have outlined some of those issues later in this letter. We would therefore ask that your lighting engineers in the Council consider the following two basic requests for the lighting due to being installed on Main Street: Install lighting which reduces glare and light pollution by installing lighting of a warm (amber instead of white) colour temperature with an upper limit of (no more than) 2700 kelvin. Shield or hood the lighting to be installed so that the light is targeted onto the ground where it is needed, thereby reducing glare and so improving visual perception, thereby improving safety. We believe the above requests are reasonable, achievable and will still meet the community expectations around safety, security and visibility. Most importantly, they will also relieve the community of the ongoing glare related problems on Main Street where the existing, too bright street lighting shines directly into their houses and bedrooms. We are including a community petition signed by local people in support of the above lighting requests. We would also like to request a meeting with the Council or to be granted the opportunity to open a discussion on further possibilities, such as: Installing motion sensor lights at night, where the lights will turn on when there is a movement, thus reducing overall energy consumption and adding more safety to all. Despite our name, we are not against the concept of street lighting! In fact, lighting in itself is not the issue: rather, if the lighting is installed without proper shielding and appropriate brightness levels, this can cause the problems that are now being seen among human populations and the ecosystem. We greatly appreciate your time and attention and look forward to your response on this matter. Yours Faithfully, The Cloughjordan DarkSky Group
