MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 09, 2017

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive explores the possibility of introducing a minimum payment for parking meters in Rathfarnham Village.  The 30 minutes free initiative has proven popular with shoppers and businesses alike, but there are fears locally that the system is being abused.  Other local authorities have a minimum payment in place and can we have a report on whether it would be worthwhile piloting a similar scheme in our Village?

REPORT:

"The decision to introduce a free 30 minutes parking was recommended by the LUPT SPC and Agreed by the full Council. In discussions on the proposal and in reports prepared by the executive leading up to the decision, the Council were made aware of all possible consequences. An updated report could be prepared for the SPC on the operation of the 30 free minutes since its introduction with a view to discussing the matter."
