As a City Councillor, 2004-2014, I actively supported the making of the first Phibsborough Mountjoy Local Area Plan and before it expired I worked to obtain a new plan for our area. Dublin City Council recently started public consultation on the new Phibsborough Local Area Plan by publishing a draft plan and making it available to members of the public. We are invited to review the draft plan and make any observations we wish to the plan on or before 4.30pm on Monday 28th of September. If you want to make a suggestion or amendment to the plan you should send your submission in writing to: Bernie Mills, Planning, Property, Enterprise and Economic Development Department, Block 4, Floor 3, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8, or by e-mail to localareaplan@dublincity.ie before 4.30pm on Monday 28th September 2015.
