MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 24, 2015

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive, further to the reply to question 41118 at the October 2014 meeting of this Committee, to outline a timeframe for the installation of new 'welcome' signage at key gateways to Lucan Village, to outline the locations where this new signage is to be installed; and to provide a graphic sample of the planned new signage?"

REPLY:

The proposed schedule for the implementation of County Village Signage was approved by the Economic Enterprise and Tourism SPC of November 11th 2015, the report of which will be before the December Council meeting. The report includes the prioritisation of implementation of the project in Lucan during 2016.

As has been the practice in the case of the pilot in Tallaght, the first stage of the project incorporates wayfinding for walking and cycling access and also presents combined map and panel boards that display the existing Village Heritage Walks designed by our Libraries (available online in audio and in booklet form at www.southdublinhistory.ie).

The initial strategy has identified suitable locations which will be finalised as part of installation during 2016.

The welcome signage design and locations remains subject to ongoing discussions.
