QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the application to the NRA for funding for additional landscaping at the N7 flyover Newlands Cross and to detail what landscaping the Council intends to seek funding for and whether the views of elected members will be sought on the proposals before they are finalised?

REPLY:

An application has been submitted to the TII (formerly NRA) for supplemental planting on the Newlands Cross Upgrade Scheme in the amount of €35,000. This includes the area around the junction itself, those parts of the Fonthill & Belgard Roads that lie within the footprint of the scheme and finally, the area behind the noise barrier in the vicinity of St John’s Drive/Boot Road/Rockfield Drive.  Details of the proposed landscaping are attached.

Elected members will be briefed on these proposals and the expected timeframe for implementation in advance
