estateHOMEOWNERS in over 60 unfinished housing estates throughout Mayo will be eligible for a waiver of the €100 household charge, according to Westport based Labour Councillor Keith Martin.
New legislation provides that an owner of residential property which is situated in an unfinished estate is entitled to a waiver from payment of the household charge in respect of that property for that year.
The wavier only, said Councillor Martin, applies to estates where the developer is still in place but is effectively inactive, or where the development has been effectively abandoned and is posing serious problems for residents.
