This is a letter that so many of us really didn't want to write but the heart has been torn out of our village by a construction that nobody seems to support.
The brutalist concrete awfulness will become a focus of anti-social behaviour if our current level of non-policing continues.
Whoever planned this monstrosity has obviously not thought of how the Emergency Services can navigate a traffic plugged area especially since blocking one lane may block all routes in and out of what was a vibrant village.
Of course, we need to use our cars less and our public transport more but there are essential trips that many agencies must make by using vans and cars. That is why despite the anti-road lobby we need bypasses that were proven to cut accidents and deaths.
The splitting of the Old Dublin County Council into three areas has left Lucan a peripheral location where our representatives have no control.
The village businesses which are the beating heart of the community are in real trouble by this mish mash of poor and quite shoddy planning. Are these the same planners who put traffic lights on the M50 which cost a billion euro to fix??
What really galls is that these planners can make mistake after mistake and unlike the rest of us will answer to nobody.
Could we please stop, stop now, review and start with something more reasonable?
Tony Feeney,
Lucan Heights
