Public safety notice - Narrow West Street, Drogheda

Louth County Council have been engaging with a property owner of a structure at 74-76 Narrow West Street Drogheda. Noting the worryingly deteriorating condition of the building, Louth County Council commissioned independent technical advice which was received this evening.

As the advice given raised grave concerns, and with public safety of paramount importance, Louth County Council has issued a revised Dangerous Structure Notice to the building owner instructing that immediate measures to demolish are required.

Road closures and foot path closures have been instigated and diversions are in place in the area of the Dangerous Structure. These are expected to remain in place until the works are complete and the area made safe.

The public are asked to please adhere to road and pedestrian diversions.

Louth County Council acknowledges that the diversions may cause some disruption and thanks the public for their cooperation while the area is made safe.’
