Waterford Council is being called on to meet with residents of Spring Garden Alley in Waterford City to address issues.
Cllr. Seamus Ryan says the residents feel the council is not listening to them. The Labour Cllr. raised the issue at a recent Metropolitan Council meeting.
He says they're particularly concerned over the noise Bye-Laws currently being discussed.
"Spring Garden Alley is a shared space made up of Residents, Businesses, and Publicans. However, the Residents feel that their concerns are not being listened to. I would ask that the meeting be facilitated very shortly regarding the Noise Bye-Laws that are being discussed at the moment."
The calls from residents stem from a recent Public Consultation held by the Council relating to noise limits in Waterford City Centre.
It's understood some residents are concerned about noise coming from the adjacent Applemarket. If passed, the new Bye-Laws would place restrictions on noise limits for businesses in the area, however, WLR understands these proposals are not going to be put into practice.
Dawn Wallace from the Council's Environment department says they did feed into the consultation but a meeting was not possible at the time.
"I know that the Resident's Association did get in touch with Waterford City and County Council, but it was when the consultation was coming to a close, however, they did have an opportunity to feed in."
The issue was reverted to Senior Council officials, with an official response due back to Cllr. Seamus Ryan in due course.
