PRESENT PRIORITY

Ultimately, we are striving towards the regeneration of our small estate as outlined in our proposal for regeneration Renewal, Integration, Regeneration, However, our present priority is to make short-term improvements to our area.

We are hoping to start an allotment in the Garden of No. 3 Weston Gardens and improve the look of No's 1 &2 by planting flowers and installing a gate. We have received verbal support from Limerick Council and we are preparing formal proposals.

EU PETITION

After years of negotiations, Limerick City Council (LCC) finally completed plans for the regeneration of Weston Gardens in November 2006. These plans were advertised in the local newspapers on two occasions in February 2007, but never lodged with the planning department of LCC. This was because the new Director of Services for LCC's Housing Department, Mr. Kieran Lehane had refused to sign off on them.

Although plans were completed, money had been secured from central government and we had agreed at a meeting in November 2006 with all four of our ward Councilors, the Gardaí and LCC housing officials, to proceed with the plans, Mr. Lehane decided to abdicate responsibility to Mr. John Fitzgerald. This effectively long-fingered any resolution of our problems for a further five years.

We felt abandoned by our Councilor's, TD's and our government, so we decided to look to Europe for help.
