COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 23, 2017

MOTION NO 19.

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"That the Chief Executive agrees at the request of residents of Willsbrook Drive to designate areas within that estate "Restricted Parking Area" with the restriction to be implemented in areas of the estate where it was previously agreed to put double yellow lines restricting parking to residents only between 7am and 10am to deal with vehicles being parked in this part of Willsbrook estate for the entire day."

REPORT:

The Council cannot provide "Restricted Parking Area" signs on public roads. The public have the right to park on any public road provided they are in compliance with the provisions of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997. A Local Authority may not designate public roadways for private use.

There was a recommendation at the Traffic Management Meeting in January to provide double yellow lines on the corner of Willsbrook Drive and also at the bottom of the cul de sac. The residents have since stated that they do not want this lining to be provided.

This matter has been relisted for discussion at the May TMM.
