This committee requests the Chief Executive to support Lucans Tidy Towns in their request (as below) to ensure they achieve the best possible outcome to future completions. 'We are writing to you in relation to the recent results of Tidy Towns and the awarding of a bronze medal to Lucan. We are seeking your help in improving the overall appearance of our lovely village for 2023. The following is part of an extract from the adjudication panel's observations/comments following their visit to Lucan this Summer. "Lucan Bridge, whilst a great structure and in a fabulous position, really needs to be further enhanced with careful painting, and replacement of the safety barriers to ones more aesthetically pleasing. The barriers are not appropriate for this key entrance into Lucan. There is also a very rusty redundant pole on the southern bank of Lucan Bridge. We strongly recommend that you get support/raise this as an action from South Dublin County Council". Reference was also made about the condition of the telephone boxes opposite Centra in the Village and we would ask if these could be removed as they don't appear to be in use or alternatively another purpose could be found for them. We also want to get flower boxes on Lucan Bridge and also on the two bridges in the village for 2023. This will greatly enhance the appearance of Lucan. We have further plans to improve our village for next year but we need your support as our local and national representatives to get the above matters addressed in the first instance so we can plan for Spring 2023.'
