  • INTRODUCTION Drogheda Has Been Identified As a Key Economic Growth
    Name: Kieran Surname: Smith Message: NPF 2040 Submission -- This e-mail was sent from a contact form on National Planning Framework (http://npf.ie) INTRODUCTION Drogheda has been identified as a key economic growth centre as. It has seen rapid population growth, and in parallel, significant investment in infrastructure such as upgrading the Belfast- Dublin rail line; the arrival of the M1 motorway and the ongoing expansion of the local hospital which serves the region. However, as the town and hinterland "straddles" the counties of Louth and Meath, it has failed to secure inward investment commensurate with it's population and infrastructure, as it's scale has been "hidden" in population data, divided across the two counties.It is also the major social, commercial and economic centre for a ring of growing towns and villages in its hinterland, i.e. Stamullen, Donore, Julianstown, Gormanstown, Donacarney, Duleek, Slane, Collon, Monasterboice, Tullyallen, Termonfeckin, Dunleer. The recent Drogheda Boundary Review did the town - and Ireland - a major disservice by concluding that the status quo should remain rather than having the town run by ONE administration ... this option was described as the preferred one in the executive summary. That report also claimed to have looked at models internationally before concluding that - effectively - a "two town" approach was the preferred recommendation rather than recognising Ireland's largest town with it's ongoing population growth which will position Drogheda as a city in the near future. The most effective manner to achieve this status and achieve other benefits and efficiencies is to merge Louth and Meath Local Authorities into one larger entity.

Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. Louth County Council contracted GSI to delineate source protection zones for eight groundwater public water supply sources in Co. Louth. The sources comprised Ardee, Cooley (Carlingford and Ardtullybeg), Collon, Greenore, Termonfeckin, Omeath (Esmore Bridge and Lislea Cross), Drybridge and Killineer. This report documents the delineation of the Termonfeckin source protection zones.
