Group opposed to Lough development urges residents to submit objections to council
A group opposed to a student development in the lough is encouraging residents to submit objections to the council.
The "Save the lough from Highrise" group says the development, 40% of which is on church land, will be an eyesore and will destroy the fabric of the lough as a public amenity.
The piece of land, which was sold by the Lough Parish Finance Council is adjacent to another, larger piece of land already in the ownership of a developer.
The group say the 5 block 350 bed student accommodation will cause an increase in traffic, put pressure on infrastructure, and any increase in anti- social behaviour will impact negatively on the lives of residents, many of whom are elderly.
Speaking to RedFM News local resident Dr Jane O'Connor says they will give residents all the help they need to formally object to the development:
