Is it possible to give a report on the number of convictions for breach of the 3 Tonne limit on Kennelsfort Road during 2009 and is it possible to state the number of times that Gardai have been assigned to 3 Tonne duty on this road during 2009?
Heavy vehicles travelling through built up areas are a source of great concern to residents. Is it possible to have a more even enforcement of the 3 Tonne limit? What in effect is the real impact of having traffic notices displayed across the County that state e.g. at approaches to Kennelsfort Road, Palmerstown “.3 Tonne Limit on Kennelsfort Rd. Monitored by CCTV”? Who does the monitoring and what is the outcome? The rate at which residents observe this law being (apparently) breached on a regular basis undermines both the law (in general) and the Garda Service and leads to a lack of confidence amongst the population who express feelings of vulnerability and frustration.
That this Council opposes any increase in Bin Charges this year and asks the Manager to ensure that any increase in bin charges caused by Vat changes are not passed onto the householders.
