MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor A-M. Dermody

"To ask the Chief Executive to inspect the roads and paths on Willbrook Road and to report back as to the general condition of both.  The cycle-lane heading in the direction of Ballyboden Road is particularly bad and represents to me a potential danger, the surface has cracked leaving a gap large enough to entrap the wheel of a bike.

What looks like a temporary surface on the paths has, overtime through natural wear and tear, eroded leaving the paths as a likely tripping hazzard in some areas. 

Can you please confirm what percentage of next years budget has been set aside for paths and road maintenance?  Once again people are demanding value for their property tax.

Finally, and in anticipation of a certain reply, can you please provide a timeline within which it is envisaged such works will be done?"

REPLY: 

The Road surface, paths and cyclepaths on Willbrook Road have been inspected and will be considered for inclusion in the 2015 Roadworks programme for repair. The budget for road and footpath repair is decided by the elected members.

It is not possible to be specific in relation to a timeframe for the works as the 2015 Roadworks programme is currently in the process of being drafted.
