We were joined on The Agendaa this morning by Aontú Councillor in Navan, Emer Tóibín, who says that delays for the much needed regeneration scheme for Navan will hit tax payers in the pocket
Councillor Toibin said:
“The government announced €7.66 million in funding to redevelop the Flowerhill area in Navan under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) in 2019, but little progress has been made. Parts of Flowerhill in Navan have struggled with dereliction and decline for decades, and the community was promised a transformation.
Despite this, there has been very little visible or tangible progress on the ground which is really both staggering and very disappointing. Once again, the hard-pressed taxpayer will be hit by the jump in costs which is completely unacceptable. I simply cannot understand how six years have been allowed to elapse without a real dent being made in the scheme.
Councillor Toibin spoke to us some more about this.
