MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive, further to the motion agreed at the April meeting, to provide an update on the request for an examination of complaints of excessive noise levels affecting homes at Foxborough Park, Drive, Avenue and Downes, which back onto or adjoin the R136 Grangecastle Road, between the junction with Griffeen Avenue/Balgaddy Road and Glenvale/Abbeywood estates?"

REPLY: 

The third round of the European Noise Directive on Noise Mapping is almost complete for the South Dublin area. This mapping exercise will  provide up to date noise analysis for the Foxborough and Balgaddy areas that adjoin the R136 road. The results of this noise mapping exercise will then be examined in the light of the complaints received on behalf of residents and in relation to mitigation measures for noise.
