RTFB Meeting Admin

This Committee requests that South Dublin County Council write to and liaise with the OPW in relation to ongoing operations along Whitechurch Road and the green space at the front of the Wilbrook estate. Willbrook Lawn is a residential community and a home for families, not merely a construction staging site. The current operational setup is putting pedestrians—particularly school children—at unnecessary risk every morning and afternoon. Can the Council raise the issues below with a view to getting increased safety measures in place? 1. The estate´s front green space has effectively been turned into a continuous construction access blocked footpaths, heavy sign clutter, and blind spots , causing issues for pedestrians and children going to school. 2. Construction Traffic & Speeding: Heavy machinery and diggers regularly move at unsafe speeds through areas heavily populated by children and pedestrians. 3. Access Obstructions & Parking: Multiple construction vehicles and worker cars are frequently parked around the estate entrance, severely restricting visibility for drivers exiting Willbrook Lawn and creating tight choke points for foot traffic.
