"That this Area Committee: gets a detailed report on how SDCC are dealing with congested traffic issues and the disruption HGV's are causing to the village in Newcastle. • There are an excessive amount of large vehicles travelling through the village. I believe this is because of the Greenogue industrial estate. They are using our village as a shortcut to the N4. The road that the industrial estate is supposed to use, is a narrow winding country road. The drivers use our village as a shortcut because it is easier for them. We are suffering from environmental pollution, noise pollution, and safety issues because of this and the residents in the village are at breaking point. • It is very scary and intimidating to walk around the village when HGVS is traveling at speed. I have often had to move back and pull my child or pets out of the way for fear of them getting too close. • There are several speed bumps and uneven road on Main Street. When large vehicles travel through the village it is extremely noisy as they bang and rattle. We are constantly disturbed by the noise, especially at night, through the night, and early in the morning. My family has often been awoken by the banging of trucks at unreasonable times. • The amount of dirt on the footpaths is getting worse. One of the reasons this is happening is dirt spraying when large vehicles fly through the village."
"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install lighting in Burgage Gardens, Newcastle. (address provided)"
"That this Area Committee calls on Transport Infrastructure Ireland to install secure parking options for cyclists at the Red Cow Luas Station."
