"That the Council conduct a feasibility study on the installation of an open and public all weather hard surface football/basketball court adjacent to Weston Hockey pitch or/and adjacent to playground, Griffeen Park, Lucan."
"As a follow up to my motion passed at the December 2013 LAC and given the agreed policy on the Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) on South Dublin County Road Network and the subsequent review of weight restrictions that now include a weight restriction of 7.5 tonne on Kennelsfort Road and on the Estates between the R148 and Kennelsfort Road,
This Committee now requests that the Chief Executive revisit this proposal, as provided for in the Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Policy adopted by this Council in 2013 and provide for (a) a restriction of 3.5 tonne on Kennelsfort Road Upper from the N148 to the entrance of Woodfarm Acres for the following evidence based reasons: 1. The Dublin City Council has installed a 3.5 tonne restriction on Ballyfermot Road and as both this road and Kennelsfort Road are in effect the same road that meets at the County Boundary; both feed into and serve the Coldcut Road which in turn serves the Liffey Valley Town Centre, Fonthill Business Park, Park West and the Industrial/Business Estates in Clondalkin served by Cloverhill Road, it is imperative that both Ballyfermot Road and Kennelsfort Road have the same level of protection otherwise there will be (there already is) a huge displacement factor with Kennelsfort Road having to carry excessive and undesirable Heavy Goods Vehicle and Heavy (medium) Goods Vehicles traffic.
(b) The current 7.50 tonne restriction on the Residential Estates between the R148 and Kennelsfort Road must be changed to a 3.5 tonne restriction. The facts speak for themselves; this is a high density residential area, built in the 1950s before progressive planning acts with two primary schools, two crèches, no open space and very narrow roads. Again, if this Council is to seriously implement a coherent permeability policy it must improve the level of safety for pedestrians and cyclists within this area. The area qualifies for additional signage “for Cars only” as provided for in the Policy.
This Committee calls on the Chief Executive to initiate, without delay, the necessary measures to install the above traffic restrictions on both Kennelsfort Road Upper and the Estates between the R148 and Kennelsfort Road in accordance with the Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Vehicles Policy of this Council."
"That this Area Committee thanks Council staff for facilitating the recent meeting with local businesses as part of the Ballyowen Castle initiative; and requests the Chief Executive to:
- present a detailed report, for discussion, on measures to address the problems of dumping at the bring banks and to ensure more regular and effective litter cleansing of roads in the area; and to
- arrange for an audit of the area similar to the multi-departmental staff audits of villages areas already carried out as part of the Villages Initiative."
