"Given the ongoing issues experienced in the Tallaght Area with increasing numbers of out of order public lighting and the longstanding delays on getting issue's resolved can a resolution be found for this as in some locations the lack of light is causing huge issues?"
"Following on from a public meeting in August regarding the road works on firehouse road west a request not to narrow the entrance to Dale park was a request made by the community This was SDCC's response 1. Retain a wide entry/exit at the junction from Dalepark Road onto Firhouse Road West and to formalise a left and right turn on Dalepark Road through the use of on-road lining. 2. Extend the yellow box on Firhouse Road West at the junction with Dalepark Road to allow more vehicles exit onto Firhouse Road West at peak times. As part of this the Council will continue to monitor the junction and will assess if there are benefits in making this a signalised junction, however, this could further impact on traffic on Firhouse Road West. I have attached a photo of how it looks now and I would request that given the havoc that this has caused for road users it be reversed back to its original format?"
To ask the Chief Executive as to when the goalposts for the green area on Letts Field are to be installed (as per Question no.5, March Area Committee)
That the Council intervene urgently in accordance with any of its powers and functions in relation to Beckett's Hotel, which is a protected structure that is vacant and becoming increasingly derelict, so that the building is protected and secured, and if appropriate the Council would consider playing a role in bringing the building back to use, as there is a need for hotel accommodation in the County.
