REPLY:

The Roads Department is currently drafting revised Control of Parking Bye Laws. The Council is empowered to adopt such byelaws under Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1994.

The current Control of Parking Bye Laws define the area where pay and display or permit parking, apply. In order for additional areas to be included in any pay and display or permit parking scheme, a new bye law must be adopted.

The area  around Springfield Road Templeogue will be examined and a report on the parking arrangements will be presented to the members in conjunction with the proposed implementation of revised bye laws.
