"Noting the Reply to Question 6 at the January 2013 Lucan Area Committee meeting, this Committee requests the Manager to meet with Lucan EA Councillors at an early date to discuss proposals for the location of Taxi Ranks and Taxi Waiting Areas in Lucan Village, so that a final proposal can be brought to the March meeting of the Area Committee."

REPORT:

Public consultation on the proposed "Lucan Appointed Stands (Street Service Vehicles) Bye-Laws 2012 commenced on 14th May 2012.  The closing date for receipt of submissions was 6th July 2012.  Three submissions were received.  A meeting was arranged with the local Councillors for  Tuesday 23rd October 2012 to discuss the submissions.

The three submissions were discussed and the issues highlighted were noted.  The Members suggested the possibility of using the parking spaces outside the shops from 9pm when these shops would be closed.  However, as there were only 2 of the 5 Councillors present, they undertook to discuss this suggestion with the other three Councillors and revert with the outcome. A meeting will be arranged with the members to progress this matter.
