Clonlara Residents Complain Of Internet And Mobile Signal Loss Due To "Uncontrollable" Trees

A south-east Clare councillor who's called for trees overlooking a local social housing estate to be reduced in height says he doesn't anticipate any environmental backlash to the proposal. Clonlara's Glór na Srutha social housing estate, which came on stream in 2015, is situated beside a cluster of tall evergreen trees which were planted to shield the former wastewater treatment plant on the site. Shannon Municipal District has conceded that the trees are "no longer required" as the plant is gone and "assessment will be arranged with maintenance works based on the outcome". Independent Clonlara Councillor Michael Begley believe it's necessary to reduce the trees' height due to their "uncontrollable" nature which is negatively impacting residents' lives.
