MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 24, 2015

MOTION NO.17

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That this council considers including the following into the managers plans for heritage within our county for the Lucan area:

Story boards around the Village for visitors,
Statues of Patrick Sarsfield, and James Gandon, (like the Arthur Guinness statue in Celbridge)
Restore and make available St. Mary`s in the Village, much like Tea Lane Graveyard in Celbridge."

REPORT:

Following the successful implementation of the pilot signage wayfinding scheme in Tallaght a programme for implementation of similar projects across the County villages has been agreed with the SPC and budgetary provision has been made for this programme. The project provides signage,map panels and some information on the points of interest in each village.

Opportunities for additional information and street furnitiure at suitable locations will be kept under review in conjunction with the Libraries/Arts/Heritage services and the roll out of village programmes.

More significant projects, particularly ones that would require significant investment in land acquisition and/or development costs will require appraisal and consideration as part of the Councils Capital programme.
