It’s claimed a 6 foot fence could turn playground facilities in Ennis in to a prison, as local councillors seek ways to curb anti-social behaviour in the Fair Green area of the town.
As well as concerns raised by parents on Clare FM in recent weeks, Ennis Town Council has heard reports of muggings, bullying and intimidation, as well as teenage drinking and public urination at the newly developed Tim Smythe Park.
But all councillors described the new playground facilities as a positive addition to Ennis, with most in agreement that the addition of CCTV and designated teenage recreation facilities in the coming weeks will help to ease public concerns.
Fine Gael Councillor Johnny Flynn isn’t so sure and wants the council to consider a 6 foot fence and locked gates if the the situation hasn’t improved by next month.
