Druid Valley completion saga comes to an end – Richmond

Following years of negotiation, lobbying and delays – Druid Valley Estate in Cabinteely has finally been Taken in Charge by the Council. The order was officially passed at the County Council meeting earlier this month whilst Cllr Neale Richmond pushed the Manager for a final outstanding works list at yesterday’s meeting of the Dundrum Area Committee.
“This news is a welcome relief for the residents of Druid Valley who for years have been waiting for their estate to be completed. It has taken a great amount of lobbying from residents, Councillors and officials but finally the Council has come to agreement with the Developer over the remaining issues relating to the Taking in Charge process.
