MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor E. Higgins

That this Council investigates the feasibility of assigning Age Friendly Parking spaces at County Buildings.

REPORT:

There are emerging examples of "Age Friendly" Parking initiatives being introduced across the country. These generally appear to be provided in 'on street/off street' parking locations in public car parks, or in car parks owned and operated by large retail entities. The principle of providing this type of parking is supported, however, currently "Age Friendly" parking is not defined within statutes. 

SDCC is currently working on the preparation of a new County Age Friendly Strategy to enchange our range of Age Friendly initiatives and to make tangible impacts on older persons lives. As part of preparing this strategy we will consider if and how it would be possible to introduce Age Friendly parking at Council buildings.
