MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, June 20, 2016

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the signage scheme previously supported at this Council for suburban areas within the County outside the traditional villages and major towns, along the lines of the black metal signs provided by Dublin City Council, and to make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

Last September the joint meeting of the Arts/Culture and Economic Development SPCs agreed a strategy for the roll-out of signage across the 9 villages in the first instance. This is included under the SPC report section of the December Council meeting.    

It was agreed to pursue village welcome signage and cycle and pedestrian directional signage in the first instance. A pilot project on directional and information signage has been rolled out in Tallaght. Welcome signage will be developed as a part of an agreed county wide Tourism strategy at a later date.
