MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 23, 2018

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the resolution of lighting issues in the newer estates in Adamstown such as Somerton and Alderlie and Shackleton as well as in parts of the Paddocks. To outline how many areas have got temporary lighting to date, are more planned? When will permanent lighting be provided, and if a statement can be made on the matter?"

REPLY:

SDCC PL, as a matter of policy, does not provide temporary lighting in residential estates. The position regarding permanent lighting in the estates listed above is as follows:

 Somerton: All outstanding mini pillars awaiting connection by ESBN. This may take 6 - 8 weeks.

 Alderlie: Some mini pillars have yet to be connected by ESBN. This is due to a design issue between ESBN and the contractor/developer, who is liaising with ESBN to resolve.

 Shackleton: as Somerton above

 The Paddocks: Part of this estate, known as the Kingscroft section is currently in receivership and it is planned by SDCC Taking in Charge Section to commence this process in  2019. The existing PL installation is well below our specification and will require a considerable amount of works to bring it up to standard. This will be done as part of the TIC process.
