Residents locked in bitter battle over hospital road

A road running through Beaumont Hospital has been raised to a height where traffic is running level with the tops of adjacent garden walls, because of an oversight by Dublin City Council (DCC).

The development is the source of an ongoing row between health authorities and residents in the Ardmore/Montrose area whose houses back onto the road. Residents argue their privacy is compromised as anyone driving along the road has full view of their back gardens.

They are also concerned about safety, given the road is, in places, higher than their garden walls.
