Lobbying activity

The following activities occurred for this specific Subject Matter Area.

Letter (1)

It has been brought to the attention of LEDP and LEDP MS more and more frequently in the past 18 months, concerns from retailers/service charge payers of Limerick Enterprise Development Park regarding an escalation in anti-social behaviour, particularly the increase in visible litter purportedly emanating from the Homeless Hub, including commercial bins being used for domestic purposes. This is causing frustration and increasingly negative views of the Homeless Hub from retailers/service charge payers, who insist on disruption and lost trade due to the litter issues being created on a daily basis. I would welcome your engagement on this issue to find a satisfactory resolution and LEDP is committed to working with you on same. I await your response.
