 Meath County Development Plan - Land Use Strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
THE absence of a land-use strategy in Co Meath is hampering progress on the reinstatement of rail links in the county, the Meath on Track (MOT) campaign group has said.
Meath on Track said that it did not seek to be critical of Meath County Council or Meath’s chambers of commerce, but did point out that the necessary land use strategy needed to ensure that the Dunshaughlin and Navan rail link was curiously absent from current plans.
The group added that, realistically, if Meath’s commuters and businesses were to enjoy the benefits of the reintroduction of rail services to the county, then the key players in developing Meath economically and infrastructurally would have to stop “sitting on their hands”.
