Cartron Heights yesterday became the latest focus of Sligo protests against the installation of water meters by Irish Waters contractor GMC Sierra. The peaceful protest saw objectors arrive at 2pm with Sligo County Councillor, Seamus OBoyle. Cllr OBoyle, of the People Before Profit party, approached the site manager to glean further information regarding the installation of the meters, however the site manager refused to engage with the elected representative. The protest numbered about twenty concerned people and swelled as residents of Cartron Heights came out to support the protests. One resident who has a disabled child approached Irish Water to complain about been unable to get access in and out of her home. Another resident complained that her very elderly mother was disturbed by the constant drilling and the inability to access her home due to the footpaths been completely dug up and surrounded on all sides by large square bollards.
