MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager for an updated report on measures implemented by the Council to prevent illegal parking in The Square and Sarsfield Close, Lucan?

REPLY:

The Square and Sarsfield Close form part of the Pay and Display area in Lucan.  Permits are available for residents but limited parking space is available.  A parking machine was installed and subsequently removed as it remained largely unused.  The removal caused no additional inconvenience for permit holders and the next machine is positioned on Main Street if required.  At the time the machine was removed residents felt that enforcement had also ceased, however this was not the case.  Additional signage has been installed and the small green area, which includes a hard standing used for parking, is included in the paid parking.
