SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 29, 2015

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That this Council ask the Chief Executive as a matter of urgency to pin back the trees on the Newcastle road and install double light fittings adjacent to the Weston Hockey/Lucan Harries club house as this is a major Health and Safety concern. The car park visibility has been severely reduced making it very unsafe for pedestrians particularly children and has led to a number of car break-ins within the last year."

REPORT:

The provision of double light fittings on the lighting columns was discussed with the Public Lighting Section. The preference to resolve the lighting situation is to install dedicated lighting columns in the car park which could be powered and managed from the clubhouse when the car park is in use.

A site meeting has been arranged with the Public Lighting Section to review the options and prepare a scheme. As there is no provision to undertake the works in the current budget, the project will be listed for consideration for funding in the draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2016.
