Residents say BusConnects plan is a 'savage, unnecessary attack' on their area

Concerned locals held a meeting last night over two of the proposed new corridors from Ballsbridge to the city centre and from Blackrock to Merrion.

Residents of Ballsbridge in Dublin have compared the BusConnects plan to a "savage, unnecessary attack" on their area.

The re-design of the city's bus network will mean that some people are set to lose their front gardens, while hundreds of trees will be chopped down.
