Call for action on parking on footpaths

A local councillor is calling on Westmeath County Council to deal with the issue of parking on footpaths in housing estates.

Green Party councillor Louise Heavin has tabled a motion on the issue to be discussed at Monday's meeting of the Athlone/Moate Municipal District of Westmeath County Council.

Cllr Heavin's motion calls to the council to "act to ensure illegal parking on footpaths in housing estates is addressed across the District in the interest of providing an accessible environment for all.”.
