QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"To ask the Chief Executive can Newcastle village be added to the schedule of roads with weight restrictions contained in the policy document "The Mobility and management of Heavy Goods Vehicles on South Dublin County roads network" which governs the imposition of weight restrictions?"

REPLY:

Newcastle village is located on the R120 (Lucan - -Newcastle - Rathcoole Road). As indicated in the policy document "The Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Vehicles on South Dublin County Road Network", the R120 is part of the Existing Strategic Road Network. As there is no suitable alternative route for accomodation of any diverted traffic it is not feasible to restrict HGV access.
