MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 26, 2019

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

To ask the Chief Executive what progress has been made on the recommendation of the Palmerstown Meitheal Tidy Towns five year strategic plan, to change the Cherry Orchard gantry signpost on the R148 westbound at the footbridge to include signposts to Palmerstown Upper.

This is a recommendation in the five year strategic plan that was funded and requested to be undertaken by SDCC.

REPLY:

There is a long history on changes to Palmertown/Palmerston gantry signs.   The present request has been sent to TII maintenance.

Notwithstanding the history, and the passing of correspondence between TII and SDCC in the matter of the Palmerstown signage, on a point of note, Palmerstown Upper is a townland within the Electoral Division of Palmerstown and advance directional signage is not provided for such locations.
