Dublin City Council has worked with elected representatives and local residents to prepare a Draft Local Area Plan for Ashtown-Pelletstown. The Draft Local Area Plan is on display and available to inspect at The Atrium, Ground Floor, Dublin City Council, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8. I also requested DCC make the plan available for viewing in the Cabra Library, and the Cabra Area Office (97 New Cabra Road, Dublin 7). The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 18th June 2013. Mary
