Add vacant Dunnes Stores buildings to Derelict Sites Register

Add vacant Dunnes Stores buildings to Derelict Sites Register

The Issue

Please sign this petition to call on Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to add the derelict Dunnes Stores Buildings  (26 - 29 George's Street Upper) in the centre of Dún Laoghaire Town to the Derelict Sites Register. 

These buildings have been vacant and unused for many years and are a blight on our town centre.  Despite prominently placed “To Let” signage, there has never been any meaningful effort to let these properties.  Instead, the buildings continue to fall into a worsening state of disrepair and dereliction.  

Land hoarding in a strategic town centre location (i.e. keeping buildings vacant to prevent other businesses from moving in) is completely at odds with what local residents and businesses want and detracts considerably from the vibrancy of our town.

The Government recently announced funding (€150m URDF Third Round Funding) to help local authorities tackle vacancy and dereliction.  Please sign this petition to call on Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to add the derelict Dunnes Stores Buildings to the Derelict Sites Register.
