That the 3 Tonne Scheme on Kennelsfort Road, which the Garda say is difficult to enforce as presently described due to there being some industrial and commercial premises off the upper end, be adjusted to the area between the N4 and the Northern side of the entrance to Woodfarm Acres and that a similar 3 Tonne restriction be installed on all of Wheatfield Road from its junction with Kennelsfort Road to its junction with Glenmaroon Road. Taken together these adjustments should ensure that vehicles in excess of 3 Tonnes who have no business within the set restricted areas are easier to identify while allowing a service route to both the Palmerstown Shopping Centre, Silver Granite, P. J. Edwards and the Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate from the Coldcut direction and to Manor Road from the N4 direction.
