That this Area Committee agrees that SDCC shall insist as part of the traffic management structures put in place for the Clonburris SDZ ,that all trucks exiting sites should be "watered down" before entering the public streets and that regular intensive clean up of the public street be adhered to. In particular traffic exiting site on to the Fonthill road should only do so after excess dirt is removed from construction vehicles. NB: the current situation at Fonthill Rd is completely unacceptable to the point where the colour of traffic cones is undeterminable.
