Green Party Dublin West representative, Roderic O’Gorman has called on Dublin Bus to clarify the situation with a bus stop in Blanchardstown village, after local residents suffered late night anti-social behaviour.
“I was recently contacted by residents of Blanchardstown Village regarding their concerns about the inbound bus stop in Blanchardstown Village on the Old Navan Road, opposite the Bell Pub. The residents outlined to me extensive disturbances that they have been suffering at night as a result of drunk people congregating at the bus stop. This includes late night noise, rubbish and people urinating on gates. In one case, a class bottle was thrown at a house, shattering beside a child’s bedroom window”, stated Roderic O’Gorman.
“The residents have been contact with both Dublin Bus and the Gardai about the possibility of moving the bus stop to a nearby site, closer to the village, at the old taxi rank beside Abrakebabra. However, no definitive decision has been taken at this point”.
“I am calling on Dublin Bus to quickly clarify whether they are in a position to move the bus lane in question. It’s not right that local families should be disturbed to this extent in their own homes”, concluded Roderic O’Gorman.
