MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

That this Committee shares the concerns expressed by several Lucan residents about the condition of parts of the footpaths in Lucan Village, notes that a small number of residents have reported that they tripped and fell due to faults in the footpath, and requests the Manager to arrange for an immediate inspection of the footpaths throughout the main street of the Village, including the section adjacent to the Village, opposite Courtney's Licensed Premises, and allocate funding from the discretionary part of the Roads Grant for essential repairs to be carried out where there are definite hazards to pedestrians.  

REPORT:

The paths in Lucan Village have not been included in the 2012 footpath programme for repair. However, the Area Engineer will be requested to carry out an inspection and arrange for the repair and removal of any trip hazards.
