A TRALEE councillor has called for higher fencing at the rear of a Tralee estate adjacent to the Tralee-Fenit Greenway because of litter being thrown into residential properties.
Cllr Sam Locke was speaking at the online meeting of the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council on Monday morning.
He moved a motion that the Council would clean up the Tralee-Fenit railway at the rear of Casement Avenue and install fencing where at all possible, to protect residents at the estate as they have a difficult time with break in and interference with their properties.

He said there were pensioners living there and they have experienced stones and bottles being thrown into their properties.
Cllr Locke said the residents understood that high fencing would have been installed at that part of the walkway.
In reply, the Council said Tralee MD regularly maintains the greenways throughout Tralee and have responded to recent increases in popularity by increasing the frequency with which bins are emptied.
They said while Level 5 Public Health Restrictions limited the resources Tralee MD could assign to this section of the walkway, a substantial clean-up of the area has been completed within the past two weeks.
Any further additions to the height of the wall at the rear of the properties at Casements Avenue will require planning permission and will be a matter for each individual property owner to action directly.
