    Kennedy Rd got a new lick of tar the other day and the tarmacadamguys obviously didn't give a rats ass about tarring over the storm drains. This seems to be happening a bit now, what gives?

    I know the storm drains are not being cleaned out by the town council at all. and no escuse why. There are workers on the streets struggling to find something to do.

    This is pure laziness on the council management to get deal with the problem and the tarring over of storm srains so they don't have to clean them out is unacceptable.

    It needs to be highlighted and the council shoud be make the tar company (at their own expense) uncover the storm drains, clean out the tar they pumped into it and seal around them. :mad:

    p.s and where is the town engineer to oversee the tarring over of the drains, what excuse does he have for it?

    Saw this also happening on the Trim Road late last year when the new lights went in at Beechmount. What happened then was the tarmac team had sprayed a yellow line around the space where they knew the storm drain was, and came back to re-instate the drain after the painters who put the white lines on the surface had finished. Hopefully the same thing will happen very soon on Kennedy Road....

    Did you contact the council about it?

    the other big cock up is the covering of the storm drain at the back of aib, at the road leading leading into it. It';s just some rubble thrown in and was never cleaned out and restored. Unacceptable. The town council throws money away goodo on useless things and ignores the basics.

    A friend of mine knows a councillor, so he'll get her to bring it up.

    Its normal practice to tar over the drains and then come back and raise them up to tie into new tar level

    I guess a bit of research might have been in order

    Paddy is bang on... if you had just rang the council, this is what they would have told you.

    Id be more focusing on the fact that the council are actually getting around to resurfacing Kennedy Rd - which in fairness was in bits and needed doing.
