The article, published 18th Feb, states that Navan hospital emergency department does not provide stroke thrombolysis and that Ambulances have now been directed to take patients to Dublin's Mater Hospital where there are higher volumes of stroke treatment.

This is concerning given the urgent need for treatment in the event of a stroke.

Cllr Alan Lawes has formally written to Meach County Council regarding the public's concern for pedestrian safety on Metges Road.

"To whom it may concern,

As you know parents in Johnstown have been demanding a pedestrian crossing for a very long time now. While there is one being constructed near the Cos Glaisin estate and that is welcome, the real danger to children is further up the road close to the Bus stops and the park. Parents are very fearful that a child will be seriously injured or killed in that area. I know Councillors were told at a Navan Municipal meeting recently that sourcing an electrical connection was the problem.

The road gets busier by the week now. With ever increasing traffic particularly heavy traffic, with lots of articulated trucks and construction traffic adding to a road that is already congested to the maximum with commuters. Numerous parents have complained to me and many others have commented negatively about the Council online. There is a level of frustration building up in Johnstown that I haven't witnessed before. Its a lot to do with the over development of the area without the infrastructure and the facilities to go with it.

The pedestrian crossing is just another example. Hundreds of houses and now apartments are given planning permission in super fast time and yet it takes years to get a simple pedestrian crossing to keep our local children safe.

Whatever the hold up, can we get a move on and "URGENTLY" construct the second pedestrian crossing along Metges Road and prevent the accident that's waiting to happen.

Kind Regards,

Cllr Alan Lawes"

" Over 60 participants took part in the inaugural Meath Climate Academy training event which took place in Buvinda House, Navan on Saturday, January 25th.

The event was aimed at people concerned about the climate crisis and who want to take positive climate action as an individual and within their communities. The training aimed to give people the knowledge and skills to start their own climate conversation. The event didn’t just focus on the science of the climate crisis but covered a range of actions that can be taken to address the climate emergency and also covered the important topic of climate justice.
