MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the uptake of cycling bike sheds recently located in the Lucan area and details of proposed marketing of these bike sheds in the coming months?"

REPLY:

SDCC Communcications unit have recently been engaged to publicise the lockers by using social media. Also adverts are being prepared to place in local papers. According to the Management Company, it can take 6 to 12 months to allow for promotions to succeed in generating full usage. The Management Company are also engaging with Dublin Bus to promote the lockers. There have been a number of queries to date but no uptake yet. We expect this to improve dramatically following an extensive promotional campaign in the near future.
