Can the Chief Executive confirm what signage must private operators of parking meters, erect in the open public spaces where they operate. For instance if the meters are effective 24/7 with one hour free, then is it adequate to erect signage which says one hour free with no mention of what hours metering is operational within. Photos provided of current signage at Abberley Square which appears to be clamping based on the parking meters being operational 24/7.

To ask the Chief Executive what would the approx. costing of culverting the Whitestown Stream between the Cloonmore Road and the N81 to build a linear community park enhanced with border hedge, trees and seating arrangement?

That this Area Committee calls on the Council to reconsider its position on the culverting of the Whitestown Stream between Cloonmore Road and the N81. This section of the Stream has now become an open sewer with domestic waste, stable waste, drug paraphernalia and stolen cars. It would mean the removal of what has become the most vandalised bridge in South Dublin and in its place we could have a fenced in tree lined linear park that could really enhance a community space between the estates of Cloonmore, Dromcarra and Bawnlea.
