QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

Can the Chief Executive report on parking at County Hall? Is there plans to make more parking spaces available for staff and residents that want to call to council, with building work on start soon at the Square parking will be scarce and could cause issues to parking at County Hall.

REPLY:

Parking is currently provided on a first come first served basis to staff and customers of SDCC. There are parking spaces reserved for elected members, visiting staff and a restricted number of other staff, such as for those who avail of car-pooling. There is an underground car park also available for the over flow of staff not accommodated on the ground level at County Hall. As well as the challenge in limited space and land available, there is the difficulty of preventing members of the public from using the car park as a park and ride facility with the proximity of the Luas.

There are no plans to increase parking spaces in the immediate term, however if any member has a specific recommendation that would overcome these limitations, Corporate Services would be very eager to consider those.
