MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor Mary Seery-Kearney

That this Council supports the promotion of eco friendly bus shelters to include their use as solar panels, rain harvesters, low maintenance plants and flowers for a bee friendly environment such as are utilised by the Dutch city Utreacht.  

If the motion is agreed by the Members, it is proposed that the Council write to National Transport Authority to urge its implementation as soon as possible. 

REPORT:

We have been in discussions with the National Transport Authority (NTA) in relation to such a proposal since July this year.

The NTA have indicated that they are postiviely disposed to the use of such bus shelters and that they are considering a pilot project in the SDCC area.

If this Motion is passed a letter will be issued to the NTA in line with the Motion.
