MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 23, 2015

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"To ask that a survey of footpaths in the Palmerstown Area be carried out and a report brought to this committee at the September meeting as there have been at least five reported incidents of pedestrians tripping over broken footpaths in the past six weeks?"

REPLY:

The Roads Department does not have the resources to carry out a survey of all footpaths in the Palmerstown area.The footpath programme is decided for 2015 and presented to all the elected members.

Palmerstown had extensive footpath repairs carried in 2014 in the vicinity of the church. New footpaths have been constructed in the village and in Manor Road as part of the village scheme in 2015.

If the locations of the trips are made available, the Area Engineer will examine and carry out emergency repairs if deemed necessary.
