Residents in Julianstown have formed a new association to campaign for progress on the R132 Traffic Relief Scheme, amid concerns over the growing volume of traffic through the village.
More than 22,000 vehicles pass through Julianstown each day, with residents highlighting concerns around congestion, noise, pollution and pedestrian safety.
There are also fears about the impact on the village’s heritage and surrounding rural roads as the population of East Meath and south Drogheda continues to grow.
Residents say they have been seeking a permanent solution for more than 40 years. Fred Logue, Chairperson of the Julianstown Village Association, has lived in the village all his life and joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss this further.
