MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, April 12, 2021

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the Chief Executive to consider using technology led infrastructure to enhance services such as parking e.g. using sensors to ensure appropriate use of loading bays, wheelchair spaces and electric vehicle charging points.

REPLY:

The Council introduced a Text-Alert system to combat the misuse of accessible parking bays approximately 2 years ago.   This system affords civic minded members of the public to alert the Traffic Warden if someone is observed parking in the accessible parking bay without a permit or is misusing the permit.

The Council is aware of measures that are currently being trialled by Offaly County Council in conjunction with a third party provider of wireless infrastructure, and SDCC will examine how suitable such measures might be in assisting with provision of enhanced parking services.
