A delegation from Reenascreena Community Action Group will address a policy meeting of Cork County Council West in Clonakilty on Monday 19th September. The topic under discussion: Reenascreena's recurring mains water problems. Noel Fitzpatrick and Calvin Jones will each be invited to address the Councillors and Staff of the County Council for three minutes apiece. They hope to highlight local disenchantment with the water supply services, and urge the Council to take long overdue action to improve the situation. As part of their presentation to the Council they will stress the need for improved communication, and will request regular update meetings and telephone calls with Council Engineers to verify what progress is being made to ensure that Reenascreena has a consistent water supply next summer. RCAG is confident that these presentations will play an important part in raising the profile of Reenascreena's water supply problems, and in putting the issue firmly back on the County Council's agenda. Look out for updates on the website as we get them. |

In a statement issued on 103FM news this morning Cork County Council have asked residents throughout the West Cork region to conserve water in light of the protracted dry period we're experiencing. People are asked to refrain from washing their cars and watering their gardens until further notice.... I guess the response from Reenascreena is better late than never! |
