MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to report on the number of traffic wardens currently in place at our schools, including any increase/decrease in the last 12/18months. To also include if there are traffic wardens agreed which are still waiting to be appointed and if there is increase in applications for the positions.

REPLY:

We currently have 94 crossing points to facilitate children crossing to schools throughout the County. Six new crossing points opened during the last year. The current staff complement at 94 represents the approved workforce plan number of posts. A school warden relief panel is also in place from which temporary appointments are made. In general there has been an increase in the numbers of applications but it is an area where there is a high turnover of staff.
