MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 14, 2014

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor A-M. Dermody

"That the Chief Executive with the aid of a report confirm what impact the 30 minutes free parking has had on trade in Rathfarnham village, you will recall that there were real concerns among some traders that extending the free parking limit would have a negative impact on trade.  Have there been any complaints from either the general public or traders with regard to parking? This is a pilot arrangement, is it likely that this pilot will be made more permanent, assuming positive overall effect on trade."

REPORT:

A report on the ‘30 minute free parking period’ will be presented to the Transportation SPC. The report will include data on usage, parking availability, space turnover etc. Additionally the public and trading response to the initiative will be included.
