A number of residents have raised concerns over “late night revving” at a petrol station in County Waterford.
Sinn Féin councillor Kate O’Mahoney addressed the issue in a post on social media recently.
In the Facebook post, Cllr O’Mahoney wrote: “Many residents in Monksfield, and other nearby areas have gotten in touch in relation to noise and safety concerns as a result of the ongoing late night revving, racing and speeding of modified cars at the petrol station on the Coolagh Road.
“Conor McGuinness TD and I sought a meeting with the petrol station’s management to raise these concerns directly.
“The management team has since advised us that they have met with their builders to look at possible solutions, including closing off the car park at night-time while still allowing customers to access the petrol pumps.”
She continued by saying that the petrol station’s management are now examining the ways in which they can address the issue.
“They are now working through a few different options and will come back with a proposed solution.”
“Hopefully, a practical measure can be put in place that will reduce the late-night disruption for residents while still allowing the premises to operate for those accessing the petrol pumps,” Cllr O’Mahoney concluded.
