Residents of Scarlet Crescent in Drogheda are being promised action after more than two decades of concerns over the condition of their estate.
The Mayor of Drogheda, Councillor Declan Power, has called for urgent intervention, describing Scarlet Crescent as one of the town's most overlooked housing estates.
Concerns include a lack of parking, poor footpaths, accessibility difficulties for older residents and, most seriously, reports that emergency services are struggling to reach some homes.
Some residents have even reported ambulances having to transport patients considerable distances by stretcher because vehicles cannot access parts of the estate.
Mayor Power says previous commitments from Louth County Council have failed to deliver meaningful change, and he's now calling for a full audit and a properly funded improvement plan.
Mayor Power joined us on The Agenda this morning to explain what's happening and what needs to be done.
