QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

To ask the Manager to address the problem of cars driving through the Green area at Lindisfarne Green, Bawnouge.  Can Parks install something on the green…railing/barrier to prevent cars driving through it and endangering childrens lives. There is a huge wall on the Green so children cannot see the cars, nor can the cars see the children?

REPLY:

The open space at this location was not provided or designed to be used by cars.  At a recent site inspection there was no evidence to indicate that this area is being used on a regular basis by cars.  The area will be monitored over the next three months and in the event that an issue with cars is evident, consideration will be given to installing 2/3 bollards adjacent to 18 Lindisfarne Green subject to the identification of the necessary resources.

It would also be helpful if local residents could provide any information about vehicles observed driving onto the open space, for example, registration numbers, and report them either directly to the Gardaí or alternatively to the Council. The Council will bring any information received to the attention of the Gardaí.
