QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh 2009

"An bhfeádfadh leis an mBainisteoir mionthuarascáil a ullmhú a léireodh iarmhairtí  na scéime páirceála nua i Sráidbhaile Thamhlachta.  An nglacfadh leis an gComhairle gur tharla  meath  sa siopadóireacht (de réír cuid de na miondíoltóírí) dá bharr sin agus an ndéánfadh an Chomhairle machnamh ar pháirceáil shaor a sholáthar ar dheirí seachtaine?"

"To ask the Manager to prepare a brief report showing the effects of the new parking scheme in Tallaght Village. Would the Council accept that a decline in shopping has happened  (according to some retailers) and would the Council consider providing free parking at the weekends?"

REPLY:

Taréis athbhreithniú bheith déanta ar an pháirceáil Íoc agus taispeáin sa Thamhlacht mar a thíolacadh don Chomhairle, meastar páirceáil a chur ar fáill saor in aisce in Áiteanna Áirithe den Thamhlacht. Oibríonn carrchlós an Sean Bóthar na nGlaschnoc agus Bóthar an tSeanbhábhúin anois o Luain go hAoine (08:00 go 18:00 uair an chloig gach lá). Ceadaíonn sé seo usáid saor a bhaint as an pháirceail phoiblí. Tugtar faoi deara gur bhaineadh Úsáid réasúnta as na háiteanna agus is iomchuí an Íoc agus taispeáin reatha ar an Satharn chun  na háiteanna fágtha  a chosaint  ionas go mbeidh rochtain ar pháirceáil.

Following a review of pay and display parking in Tallaght as presented to the Council it is considered that parking be free of charge in certain areas in Tallaght. Old Greenhills Road and the Oldbawn Road car park now operate on a Monday to Friday only (08:00 to 18:00 hrs each day). This allows for free use for public parking. It is noted that a reasonable use was made of the areas and the existing Saturday pay and display is appropriate to protect the remaining areas for parking access.
