Clean it Yourselves, say Dundalk Town Council.
A disturbing, and rather offensive graffiti attack on a new wall, at the rear of houses in Laurel Grove, has upset many of the residents there. The wall is on the side of the new road between Tom Bellew Avenue, and the Marshes Shopping centre,
However to add insult to injury they have been told by the Town Council that it's not their problem, and to clean it up themselves.
If the graffit was on the outside of the wall it might have been a different story, but because it's on the inside, and won't offend passing traffic on it's way to swell the coffers of commercial enterprise, the Council don't see a problem.
Yet the Council was instrumental in creating the situation which has provided the 'canvas' for the demented artists, and poets.
Despite massive objection from residents both here, and in nearby Oaklawns, and Meadowgrove, this road, and the one from the roundabout at the swimming pool, on the old railway line( hence the name) Bothair Iarainn, was pushed ahead to faciltate the development of the Marshes Shopping Centre.
During the construction on both roads a high block wall was built at the rear of properties, but at the rear of Laurel Grove the wall isn't at the rear of the gardens. It's a little further back, which has created an alley way, affording the crazed poets and artists, access to the 'inside' of the wall.
Memo to Dundalk Town Council:
Get a grip on reality. Spend a little of the huge payments you received by way of charges to the developers of the Marshes, for handling over the land for them to create the roads. Clean up this mess, and prevent it from recurring. The residents are entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of the homes.
