MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Thursday, June 23, 2016

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the full cost to the council of the bike lockers in Lucan and the yearly cost for the management programme with bikelockers.ie. Also who has the responsibility of the upkeep of the lockers?"

REPLY:

The total cost of 10 number lockers including padlocks and delivery is €12,372.50.  The lockers are managed by Bikelockers.ie who charge a yearly fee for rental and there is no cost to the Council for this service. Bikelockers.ie are responsible for the upkeep of these lockers in general from their fee but there is no maintenance contract in place with the Council. South Dublin County Council would have responsibility for maintaining the lockers in the event of damage. As this is a pilot scheme we will monitor the situation in regard to their usage and will consider the viability of a maintenance contract going forward.
