SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 20, 2020

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"I’ve enquired before about speed bumps as cars go much, much too fast on the road. Speed cushions were eventually put in just past Texaco, but vehicles speed up as soon as they have gone over them.

People walk the Main Street at all times of the day and night. Someone walking past could have been killed, or one of us had we happened to be in the driveway.

Any help you could provide with addressing safety on the Main Street would be appreciated

(Request for Traffic Management Meeting -   ramps Main St., Newcastle

Main Street Newcastle. At around 11.25pm on Sunday night a speeding car came off the road and into my driveway.)
