MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

To ask the Manager is it possible to turn the name stone at Boot Road so that it is legible for traffic coming into Clondalkin from the Naas direction?  It probably needs to be moved back, it was to be done before.

REPLY:

The area around the Clondalkin name stone situated on the grass verge at the Boot Road exit from the Naas Road ( N7) has been examined and it is proposed to relocate this name stone to the existing grass island at the junction of the Green Isle Link Road and Boot Road. This is a more prominent location and it would mean the stone would directly face oncoming traffic approaching Clondalkin Village.  The surrounds of the stone could then be enhanced with feature planting, new kerbing etc. as a fitting welcome to visitors to Clondalkin Village, subject to funding being available. This idea will be discussed further with the Roads Department and the Clondalkin Tidy Towns Committee with a view to having the stone relocated, as soon as possible.
