"That the Manager would present for discussion at the meeting a report on the current status of the work of the Roads Department to develop Taxi Bye-Laws for Lucan Village and an improve Taxi Rank and Taxi Waiting system in and around the Village Green."

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. The Council is open to suggestion for finding a consensus on the preferred solution for a taxi rank in Lucan Village. This matter will be advanced as part of the traffic assessment of Lucan village which has been grant aided by the NTA in 2013.
