"To ask the Chief Executive, now that developers and builders are becoming more active in our area, what powers the Council has to prevent building traffic from using residential areas as a shortcut, leaving mud, grit and pebbles on roads, ignoring weight restrictions creating a hazard for pedestrian and children etc as currently being experienced by residents in the Dodsboro and Hillcrest Areas?"

Many residents complain that it is becoming increasingly impossible to walk, use a wheelchair or push a buggy on some pathways due to damage much of which seems to be caused by vandals burning bins and other material?"
"This Committee compliments the Chief Executive for the work to date of securing the boundary of the Palmerstown Manor Estate and requests a report on the ongoing problems of illegal access from the Coldcut Road and what further action is proposed to prevent it."
To ask the Chief Executive if there has been any follow up to the following Motion, I had agreed at the November 2016 Lucan Area Committee Meeting “This Committee asks that the Chief Executive contact the TII and NTA and request a timeframe for the restoration/correction of the signage on the M50 and N4 so that it is brought in line with the fact that the people have voted democratically in 2013 that they want correct name “PALMERSTOWN” used for all official purposes?”

"Following the successful campaign of the “Save the Silver Bridge” a comprehensive discussion followed the presentation ceremony. The discussions included the Members telling many stories of their experiences with the Silver Bridge. It was identified that these stories have significant historical facts attached and it would be interesting to explore how these stories could be preserved, therefore this Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine a joint venture between the Library Historian Department and the residents similar to the historical recording sessions conducted for the Round Towers Clondalkin."

"That this Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine the possibility of designing a mapped out running trek within the Griffeen Park and Willsbrook park. The trek can be a mixture of pathway/grass/gravel, etc. Considering the amount of people that are now running and walking these treks would be a fantastic amenity at a low cost to the council and would help more people to be encouraged to take up walking or jogging.
