COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor C. Keane

"That this Committee discusses bus stop issue adjacent to The Heath Prospect downs taking into considerations views of Prospect Manor residents as voted on at recent AGM i.e. to provide footpath from bus stop to existing entrance at the Heath and to delete proposed new entrance - noting provision of footpath would not endanger large tree adjacent. Also to report on meeting requested by this council with Bus Atha Cliath on this issue."

REPORT:   

The proposal to provide a pedestrian gate and short footpath to the rear of the south bound bus-stop at Prospect Manor has been withdrawn from the Part 8 process.

Dublin Bus, (who originally provided the bus-stop in conjunction with the Gardai Siochana) has been contacted by the Council regarding the alternative views put forward by the residents of Prospect Manor.  A meeting will be organized early in the New Year to enable the residents to put their proposals directly to Dublin Bus and the Gardai in this regard.
