MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee, noting the discussion on motion 50686 at the September 2016 meeting regarding ongoing public safety concerns among residents of Chalet Gardens and Beech Park, again requests the Chief Executive to install a small number of public lighting columns (with LED units) on the west side of Chalet Gardens, particularly close to the junction with Lucan Road."
 
 

REPORT:

1. Chalet Gardens:

The existing LED public lighting at Chalet Gardens was reassessed earlier this year due to requests from the elected members and residents. As a result, all the LED fittings were exchanged for a different type in July of this year in order to satisfy the aforementioned requests. 

These fittings are on ESBN overhead network columns. All the available columns have LED fittings on them. In addition, the PL along Lucan Road was upgraded to LED in 2015 as part of the Villages Initiative. 

2. Beech Park

The public lighting at Beech Park is a pre 1990's installation and as such is unsuitable for upgrade to LED at present. 

However, in conjunction with Public Realm, there will be a new PL LED scheme installed shortly at the open space between Beech Park/Grove and Cherbury Park Road/Avenue.
