Local representatives in Ennis have expressed further concerns about anti-social behaviour in the Ashford Court area of the town.
The issue became a focal point in a meeting of Ennis Municipal District Councillors yesterday following the Council’s confirmation that it’s working with An Bord Pleanala to resolve an application for a ‘change of use’ at the Westbrook facility, which also provides support to those in need of emergency accommodation.
Residents near Hermitage and the Considine Road have reported alleged drug dealing and intimidation of people living around the area by a minority of users of the Winter Initiative Project in Ashford Court.
Fine Gael Councillor Johnny Flynn says a number of those using emergency accommodation need access to improved services.
