"That this Area Committee calls on South Dublin County Council to do a full review of Health and Safety in relation to Traffic in Newcastle. Also to look at HGV vehicles and look at below to see if there is a possibility of school time. Heavy HGV Vehicles could be banned and bring a report back to the area meeting. Also to look at the traffic congestion being experienced currently in Athgoe/Newcastle and the weight limit of the Hazel Hatch Bridge on the R405. The level of very heavy artic trucks that use it is not right. It causes chaos when two trucks meet as there is very little room to maneuver to get past each other.’’
(Possible routes - N7 to N4- so they go through the Village. Instead they could take the exit off the N7 at Corkagh Park and drive straight down the link road to the N4. Some may also be coming from Greenogue Industrial Estate- and may want to get to N4. Also they could take the road down the back of the Industrial Estate that brings them out close to where Baldonnel/ Grangecastle and drive through Lucan to get to the N4 or they can also get to the link Road near Clondalkin as mentioned above- by taking the same road at back of Industrial Estate).
