QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor Clare O'Byrne

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the procedure for roundabout sponsorship. Is the 2016 Roundabout Sponsorship Scheme still current and if so, are there plans for a successor scheme? What are the current levies and terms and conditions for sponsoring a roundabout? Finally, what roundabouts in the RTFB area are currently active locations?

REPLY:

The Council is currently reviewing the Roundabout Sponsorship Scheme.  The aim of the scheme is to attract funding which will be invested in roundabout improvements.  It is expected that a new sponsorship scheme will be advertised in 2021.

The previous roundabout sponsorship scheme went out to tender in 2016.  A minimum sponsorship amount was specified in the tender documentation, any offer above that amount was valid.  The sponsorship price was based on the highest tender received for each roundabout but no less than €1000 per roundabout for roundabouts with a traffic flow of ≤ 10,000, no less than €2000 per roundabout per annum for roundabouts with a traffic flow of 10,000 - 20,000, and no less than €3000 per roundabout per annum for roundabouts with a traffic flow of 20,000-30,000.  The Council is not bound to accept the highest offer in relation to any of the roundabouts included.
