Considering that the school-time HGV ban has been in existence along the Newcastle road (N4 to Tandy's lane) for many years and also considering requests to ask for a report on the details regarding the number of fines if any that have been issue re this Ban, noting no such report/reply has been received to date, and considering the daily disregard by the many HGV drivers that don’t abide by this restriction, this committee requests that the Chief Executive report on how a full time HGV ban could be introduced along the Newcastle road from the N4 to the Canal bridge and should the member agree and findings warrant such a ban this council supports a full time introduction.
What process would be involved to implement a ban, such as legislation etc?

That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to include lighting on the walkway linking The Seskin View Road and Millbrook Lawns housing estate (at The Wood) as part of the lighting upgrade programme when it is rolled out in the area. This is a busy walkway serving bus stops, Dodder Valley and local amenities that is in almost total darkness in evenings during the winter months.
That this Area Committee calls on the Council to include a suitable railing around the green area in Ard Mor Estate in the next public works programme. This would provide a safer play space for children in what is a busy estate.
That this Area Committee calls for a detailed breakdown of litter blackspots in the Tallaght South and Tallaght Central wards and the current cost and regularity of clean-ups in these areas, to be presented to the January Area Committee meeting. This area committee favours the possible regularising of these collections on a fortnightly basis as the best way to counter illegal dumping in our estates and to provide residents with adequate waste management services.
That this Area Committee calls for a costing re the provision of a cyclist and pedestrian bridge at the N81/Old Bawn Rd junction. This would be a continuation of the cycle path along the Whitestown Stream/ Watergate Park leading onto the black path in Dominic's, and would need to be designed with minimal impact on the environment leading toward Dominic's bridge.
Given the inability of the Council to provide suitable answers regarding wrap-a-round support services at The Abberley Hub, this Area Committee calls for a meeting with DRHE and Focus Ireland representatives to discuss these issues further.
