MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That the Chief Executive considers providing public benches in our villages within the LEA, for the convenience of shoppers and to assist local businesses

REPORT:

The Council is taking a coordinated approach to the roll out of physical improvements in our many urban centres.

This year (2020) the Council completed a Village Enhancement Scheme in Saggart.  In January 2021 SDCC will be starting on site with a Village Enhancement Scheme in Templeogue Village and design work is also underway for a Village Enhancement Scheme in Lucan Village.

In addition to this,  the Council has also recently agreed a programme of District Centre Enhancements to 10 district centres across the County. Design work for these the initial schemes has now started.

The Council is supporting the roll out of temporary (COVID 19 related) measures to allow businesses to expand out into the public realm and has already implemented this at a number of businesses in Lucan, Clondalkin and Rathfarham.

If there are other locations where businesses want to do the same, the Council will be more then willing to work with these businesses.
