MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

That this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive for a report on the upgrade work on the steps outside the health centre on Dispensary Lane in the village. Why has no work been done over the summer and the area been left unsafe with cones and barriers left on site?

 

REPORT:

The upgrade of the access between Lucan Road and Dispensary Lane commenced with Phase 1 which made provision for the construction of a new ramp to connect the two roads. Work was on hold during the summer to facilitate the procurement of a guardrail. The area had been fenced off during this period to prevent access for the public.

The completion of the ramp is dependent on the installation of the new guardrail which is due to be installed in early October. Once this has been fitted the ramp will be completed and opened to the public. It is hoped to have the ramp open by early November.

Phase 2 of the project will then commence and the existing steps will be decommissioned to allow for their reconstruction.
