Bus user survey - final 10 days: Last chance to input in the survey as it is closing for final collation shortly. Currently at over 1,800 respondents. Log on to http://www.bit.ly/BusCorrect to have your say. If you are not IT-literate I can do this over the phone (if you phone twice and leave a message or text me on 087-2752489).

Trimming of overgrowth: Every year we have issues getting action on overgrowth blocking footpaths and cycleways. The Council can clear safety hazards irrespective of the moratorium on hedgerow trimming, but other works will need to wait. I've reported a fair few locations at this stage, but some of these may need follow up. Let me know if you spot anywhere. Thanks to Lucan Tidy Towns for the work they do covering areas near the village especially.

Great to see Lucan Businesses at Ace Enterprise Park: It was a pleasure to be a guest speaker at the recent Townhall at Ace Enterprise Park in Clondalkin on Friday, 19th July, organised in conjunction with the Local Enterprise Office. It was fantastic to see local businesses in attendance and to hear directly from those who are creating jobs and driving our local economy forward.

Sister Sheds is a dedicated women's group based across Ireland, with a base in Adamstown Community Centre.

Ballyowen Square Taking-in-Charge: I am very pleased to see that the Taking-in-Charge of Ballyowen Square estate will be completed in the coming weeks. This is something for which I have campaigned for a few years and this result will be welcomed by local residents. Thanks to local people who worked with me on this.

Abandoned cars: There has been an increase in the number of reports of abandoned cars in the area. If you suspect a vehicle has been abandoned in your area, please tell me, and I will ask the Litter Warden to inspect.

Thanks: As this is the last issue of the Lucan Newsletter before the summer break, let me take this opportunity to thank the Newsletter team for their dedication and hard work. They provide a really important platform for information and news to our local community, and they deserve our gratitude.
