MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"That the 7.5t weight restriction on the estate roads between the Oval (R148) and the junction of Wheatfield road/Kennelsfort Road be replaced by a 3.5t restriction. This is very necessary given the narrow estate roads, the two Primary Schools and the three crèches within the estates as well as the above average percentage of older people, increased number of young people as well as its proximately to Stewarts Hospital and that there are support residents in some of the houses on these roads."

REPORT:

"This will have the effect of sending any 7.5T vehicles that use this network off roads onto Kennelsforth Road, thus having a negative effect on amenity in this area for the benefit of the Oval cell. From a roads transport point of view this is not a balanced distribution of 7.5T vehicular traffic and as such is not supported."
