MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on "parklets" and any innovative things that have been developed in this space, and if he will make a statement on the matter

REPLY:

SDCC has installed one Parklet in Lucan Village. This has proved to be very popular locally. There are currently no immediate plans to install further parklets, however, this is under review and additional parklets may be provided in the future.

The Council recently adapted its licencing approach (section 254 licences) to make it easy for businesses to place tables and chairs outside of their premises on the footpath and the street to make it easier for businesses to trade. In some instances existing car parking bays are temporarily closed off by the Council to facilitate this. More information on this can be found of the SDCC website. Council staff are available to talk to any business that may be interested in this.
