MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 25, 2018

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

That this Area Committee request the Chief Executive provide a report for discussion by this committee on the failure to apply the 3.5T restriction on the housing estate between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road as already agreed by this committee. This report should include if he is satisfied that the current 7.5T limit on Kennelsfort Road meets the needs of the residents and if it meets the health and safety requirements and permeability guidelines for a road of this type given its width, cycle tracks, number of junctions and pedestrians given that it is a main route for almost 2000 children attending local primary and secondary schools.

 

REPORT:

SDCC has agreed to a weight restriction of 3.5 tonnes on the estate roads between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road. This was communicated to An Garda Siochana on a number of occasions. No response has been received to date.

It is the position of SDCC and An Garda Siochana that the appropriate limit is in place on Kennelsfort Road as outlined on a number of occasions.
