Disability

Cllr. Tom Doherty sought clarification in relation to the provisions being made for persons with disabilities in any new Council housing developments and in particular in relation to parking and the design of the houses. the Town Clerk advises that a certain number of houses are designed for people with disabilities. he said that the building regulations also make provision to meet the needs of people with a disability. the Town Clerk advised that disabled persons parking is not a big issue in housing developments due to the absence of kerbing but that he would revert with further details in relation to the provision which is being made for persons with disabilities in the new housing development in Dereen.
