MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive to improve the public lighting at the pathway leading from Liffey Crescent to Ballyowen Lane (next to Cluain Rí) as requested by the Liffey Valley Park Neighbourhood Watch group?"

REPLY:

The provision of public lighting in public parks and open spaces is considered on a case by case basis having regard to alternative routes and public safety. In the case of the path between Liffey Valley Crescent and Ballyowen Lane, there are no proposals to provide public lighting in this area at the present time. There is an alternative, convenient, well lit route which is passively supervised, already available which links Liffey Crescent to Ballyowen Lane. Residents are advised to use the well lit public paths in the area and avoid unlit areas such as the open space during hours of darkness.
