QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

To ask the Manager to arrange for without delay a plan to create adequate boundary treatment of the McUlliam Estate with a view to protecting the children of the estate from the extremely busy road - Fortunestown Lane that runs along the estate, currently local children are severely at risk of being knocked down as they can run straight out on to the road which is a very short distance from the dwellings at the front of the estate?

REPLY:

The houses facing onto Fortunestown Lane have individual front gardens and are then separated from the road by a footpath, access road and landscaped strip.  Traffic on the road will be greatly mitigated by the upcoming opening of the Outer Ring Road connection.  The possibility of boundary treatment as requested will be examined in the context of the construction of Fortunestown B Phases 3 and 5, recently tendered.
