Council opposes ‘rat-run’ through pensioners’ housing estate

A CONTROVERSIAL proposal to build a two-way road through the centre of a senior citizens housing estate in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, has run into major opposition.

The proposed link road was designed to connect a multi-million euro shopping centre, opening next week at Shandon, to the lower end of Wolfe Tone Road.

However the road would slice through houses number 11 and 12 in St Brigid’s Well, an estate designated for senior citizens. Local councillors have described the link road as a potential ‘rat-run’.
