Plans for a new camper van park at the Navvy Bank in Dundalk have sparked considerable debate, with concerns raised by local residents over the future use of the site.
Louth County Council’s proposals include serviced campervan facilities, a playground, mini-golf, public toilets and additional parking. However, more than 100 submissions were received during the public consultation, with many objecting to the loss of community recreational and sporting space.
The proposals came before councillors yesterday, with some local representatives voicing opposition to the development. Questions have also been raised about whether the plans reflect the needs and wishes of the wider Dundalk community.
Green Party Councillor for Dundalk, Marianne Butler, joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss the vote, the reaction locally and what she believes should happen next.
