Alliance Councillor Patrick Clarke has contacted DRD Roads Service regarding extra parking provision in Burren Grove along the Newcastle Road, Castlewellan following concerns from a number of residents who are having difficulty parking due to some houses having two or three vehicles parked outside.
Councillor Clarke said: “I have made written representations to Roads Service regarding the provision of extra parking spaces in Burren Grove along the Newcastle Road, Castlewellan for local residents and have identified a small grassed area adjacent to the existing parking area.”
“Also, I have been contacted by a number of residents regarding the grassed area in front residential properties at Burren Grove, Castlewellan. I would like Roads Service to investigate the possibility of developing this grassed area into more parking spaces as currently Burren Grove due to some houses having two cars or more is now becoming quite congested.
“Following a recent visit to Burren Grove in Castlewellan, I believe believe Burren Grove does merit extra parking provision and the grassed area near the existing parking spaces would be ideal.
“For the Housing Executive to consider the provision for extra parking spaces in any area including Burren Grove the Housing Executive must own over 50% of the properties in that estate.
“Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply in Burren Grove as the Housing Executive have 6 tenants with the rest of the properties privately owned. So I have contacted DRD Roads Service to provide assistance. I am therefore hoping Roads Service will consider my request for extra parking provision.”]]>
