With plans for almost 30,000 homes to be built in Meath over the next ten years, a local councillor has warned that the county is facing a public transport and parking crisis


Cllr Helen Meyer points out that almost 1,000 housing units will be completed in the Ashbourne area alone in the next few months and warned that many of the new residents will be commuting to Dublin.


She has called for increased bus capacity and park and ride facilities and has expressed concern about the new planning bill which will see a maximum of 1.5 parking paces per dwelling in new developments.


Councillor Helen Meyer spoke to us this morning on The Agenda about this.
