MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

Noting the imminent provision of electronic gates at Griffeen Valley Park at its Haydens Lane entrance, that this Area Committee discuss the potential to extend car parking facilities in the park in this location.

REPORT:

It is intended that once the gates at Haydens Lane have been automated the opening and closing times of the car park will be extended to increase access to the park for visitors at this location.

The car park has a total of 72 parking bays. 3 of these are designed accessibility bays and 3 are occupied by recycling banks. In addition, there is an area assigned for motorbikes and 4 bicycle stands. To date no requests for additional car parking facilities have been received. In order to consider an increase in the size of the car park, a demonstrated need for additional car parking spaces would need to be made.

Any proposal to increase the size of the car park is subject to a site survey and the identification of a source of funding.
