Wicklow Co. Co. turns blind eye to illegal landfill in Bray

Saturday April 22, 2006 15:53 by Dargle Valley Residents
Dump nightmare for Bray homeowners The Dargle Valley area of Bray is home to hundreds of high value homes, prices influenced by the spectacular backdrop of the famous Sugar Loaf mountains and views of the sparkling Dargle River. It is also home to the illegal dump on Love Lane. Of landfill proportions, this dump is being ignored by Wicklow CC officials in the grand tradition ignoring the start up of illegal landfill in the county at times when the local authority is not in a position to provide a service itself. Coolnamadra, Whitestown and Blessington all carry allegations that Wicklow CC in someway supported their existence in the early days of their lives because there was no other home for the waste, commercial waste having been banned at their own official landfills at that time. The same could be said today in Love Lane. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3This has been going on for years. Both the National Drugs Council and An Bord Pleanala refer to illegal landfilling at Love Lane / Fassaroe as being a significant environmental and social problem in documents on their web sites. The Bray Drug Action report clearly identifies illegal dumping as a major source of embarassment, depression and ill health to residents in the estate. Yet Wicklow CC very very strangely choses to ignore it even though the answer is staring them in the face. Get a waste collection service into this area and enforce the litter laws.
The people in this area should sue the Council for negligence. The laws are not being enforced and its affecting peoples property rights and health. The Human Rights legislation recently issued by the EC should be the basis for a claim to the small courts initially. Get a success there and then go with a big case to the High Court.
Illegal dumping, illegal rubbish burning and rat infestation continue to plague residents of Love Lane off the Dargle Road in Bray. "I am calling on Bray Town Council to get together with Wicklow and Dún Laoghaire/Rathdown councils to clean this area up immediately," said Sinn Féin Cllr. John Brady.
