A Marown Commissioner claims local authorities are ‘not happy’ about the Department of Infrastructure’s Highway Charter which could see them taking on more responsibilities.
The DOI says it wants to set ‘service level agreements’ on things like hedge cutting, gully and street sweeping and removal of weeds.
But Alison Lynch says a lot of commissioners wouldn’t be able to carry out works on roads and pavements due to the financial cost.
She believes it could be a ‘back door’ way of starting to cut, or merge, local authorities:
