QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor B. Lawlor

"To ask the Manager to remove bushes from roundabout at Woodstown Estate on Ballycullen Road.The height of bushes are now obstructing the view of drivers and putting pedestrians and drivers at risk?"

REPLY:

It is not considered that there is any obstruction for traffic approaching this roundabout.  However, the maintenance of roundabouts in this area is being examined to consider ways in which the maintenance burden can be reduced to fit in with the reduced resources available to the Council at present. 

This reduction in the maintenance burden will be by of a redesign to allow for a less intensive maintenance intervention.  This particular roundabout will be examined again as part of this appraisal and the issue of the obstruction of views for motorists will be included in this review.
