Thats just depressing frankly. There really are some top class tulips in our community. Ongar has enough to contend with. I wonder is the CCTV coverage any good around the village?

Agree. I drive to the village in Ongar as its handy for me (kids go to St. Benedicts NS) & see it as a great asset to the area in general, & not just for the immediare surrounding Ongar residents either, never understand the desire of some folk to vandalise & ruin things for others... hopefully the damage isnt too bad, though sadly the chances of ever finding who did it & them actually being punished are nigh on zero I'd suspect.

Shame so many great people in the area have to share with the few dregs doing their best to ruin it for everyone.

Ongar has public CCTV coverage in every corner of the commercial area.

Mainly parking is a disgrace,with cars even parked in all sides of the main roundabout,not mentioning Dunnes entrance.
If is a will to view and follow from the CCTV feeds...

Where is Ongar village as regards taking-in-charge by Fingal CoCo, is it progressing as an issue? Its the only thing that will address some of this stuff like street maintenance, parking etc

D15/Ongar/Clonee resident here.

Coming back through the village this evening (~20:30) I was greeted with an example of shockingly poor parenting.

Those of you who know the town will know the area Im referring to. Its the archway just a bit down from cuculainns pub, a few meters from the offlicence. (not dunnes side)

On turning into the area under the arch (thank christ not driving) I was greeted by two twin girls who couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 max. And their very young playful puppies.

All four of them waddle-running around the middle of the road of this blind turn. Not a single care in the world, being barely able to speak or comprehend accidents. Completely unsupervised by their loving caring parents.

Having no ""English"" I managed to direct them homeward with the word 'momma' hoping as I went on that some of the other kids they went towards might ensure their safety in the complete and utter absence of any responsible parent.

Pretty angry here I have to say.
Now Im sure Ill hear the 'cant watch them all the time' etc 'hard being a parent' placations.

Words will count for nothing when theres headlines and tears and talk of installing a speed bump and a children playing sign to prevent further tragedy.

Enjoy your evening, we got lucky today.

Royal canal walkway/cycleway between 12th local and Ashtown getting more and more unfriendly to use with increase in gangs of drunk youths hanging out and intimidating passers by. There is supposed to be CCTV along the whole thing to prevent this type of anti-social behaviour. It shouldn't take much to catch them....just a bit of interest...

Today (Mon) 6.30 PM for example. Same issue last Friday 7PM

I reported to gardai and would urge every user of the canal to do so..every time....if we don't the canal way will slowly become unusable by ordinary people who want to use this fantastic amenity.

It lost one jogger this evening anyway.. I won't be back till I can feel safe down there..

beauf

Pity to hear that. It's a great resource. Not very well advertised.

Had a 6ft bald bloke come on to a cul da sac in Corduff 3 times in the space of 2 hours during the week from 4am. He was driving a white renault traffic van with a black stripe half the lenght of the middle of the van.

He was checking doors, testing alarms & taking photos & sussing out houses. Dark jeans, white runners & a hoody.

Cops have the camera footage. He was more of a well muscled guy then overweight.

4 little scumbags tried to break into my car last night at around 12.00am - I've been told several cars in the Brookhaven/Edgewood Lawn areas were also attempted to be broken into..

Ah sure they're just some bored teens from Corduff, sure they have nothing else to do in the area, it's all the government's fault for providing no facilities.

Customs were operating the checkpoint, the Garsai were parked across the road, presumably to give chase to anyone trying to evade the checkpoint. Still can't decide whether it was genius or cruel to do it at rush hour on a bus strike day when a lot of extra vehicles were on the road.
