Secure and Save the Watery Hill Steps

Petition richtet sich an: Louth County Council

We want the council to immediately address two critical public safety hazards and protect our local heritage and protect the public pathway of Watery Hill Steps.

This will be implemented by:
Rezoning the unstable embankment from residential to Open Space/Conservation to permanently ban building and prevent a catastrophic slope failure. Prevent the newly constructed apartments and historic housing from geotechnical instability.
Legally protecting the historic steps and area by designating them as an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) and adding the steps and wall to the Record of Protected Structures (RPS), guaranteeing public access. This will also prevent any privatisation attempts of public spaces and pathways.
Installing any if the long-delayed traffic calming measures, such as a one-way system, speed cameras, and zebra crossings, to stop the frequent accidents on our streets.
