Edenderry houses should be ready in June - Bourke

Cllr. Noel Bourke has said that he is hopeful that the 39 local authority houses on the council"s land at Killane in Edenderry will be allocated in June. 'I have been maintaining regular contact on the progress of the work there and everything going according to plan I"m told that they should be ready for allocation in June', said Cllr. Bourke. Cllr. Bourke said that this will be welcome news to those on the housing list at present and while they won"t all be catered for, the allocation of the 39 houses will have a significant impact on the number on the housing list. 'Phase 2 of this development is to comprise a further 24 houses and I am asking the council to pursue funding for those at the earliest opportunity', said Cllr. Bourke who added that arrangements are in place for an additional eight houses to be built in the School Lane/Sister Senan Avenue area. He said that he will be paying close attention to the provision of local authority houses in Edenderry and other locations throughout the Edenderry Electoral Area.
