MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.19

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive if he would confirm, in respect of the planned Villages Initiatives, if he proposes to have meaningful consultations with local business interests in all the Villages involved throughout our County to ensure that disruption and inconvenience is kept to a minimum?

REPLY:

A proposed programme timetable for the roll-out of the improvement works across the 9 designated villages was presented to the June Council Meeting 2015. This programme is designed to phase, design and tender works to optimise Council technical resources. The construction works are also phased to avoid disruption in a number of villages at the same time, restricting impact on business and community as requested. Consultation has been ongoing in all villages. 

It is impossible to carry out works without some noise, dust or inconvenience and every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience.
