David Gardiner, Workers’ Party representative in Palmerstown-Fonthill, has reacted to a commitment from South Dublin County Council to carry out tree maintenance in Palmerstown Manor. Gardiner said: “Following a Workers’ Party petition which gained 300 signatures, South Dublin County Council have committed to carrying out much-needed tree pruning in Palmerstown Manor by the end of the year.”
“The Workers’ Party successfully campaigned for the inclusion of the estate on the Tree Maintenance Programme 2020-22, and we’re glad to have finally been given a definitive time frame of 2021 for when these works will take place.” “I’m particularly glad for the many residents who have come to us over the past year or so saying that they’ve been asking the council for this for many years but to no avail. Ordinary working people fund our local authorities and so we should be entitled to a good quality public service in return.”
