MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"That this Committee expresses dissatisfaction at the level of maintenance of the area within the M50 as despite representations from members of this committee and members of the public, grass cutting on the R148 and other public areas, refurbishment of the Pedestrian Bridge, replacement of PalmersTON signage etc remain unattended to. The retail site at the entrance to the Village is very untidy looking and the general appearance of what is a gateway to the County leaves a lot to be desired and undermines the good work of the voluntary local Tidy Towns workers."

REPORT:

The Public Realm section have commenced cutting the grass on the R148 with Roads Dept. carrying out the Traffic Management.

This cutting is repeated every 2/3/weeks.

The documents for the refurbishment of the footbridge are prepared and will be out to tender within days. The works cannot be carried out until the schools close for the holidays.

The signs in the village have been sourced and are currently being erected.

The Village Initiative has commenced in Palmerstown village and Manor Road and is near completion.The work has received very favourable

response .
