SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

To ask that this council agree to put in place a set of road markings, in the form of a yellow box, clearly indicating 'Emergency Vehicle Parking Only' outside the busy Manor Road Surgery and to extend to cover the area to the front of the adjoining lane used by residents for vehicular access. The surgery has experienced serious parking issues with ambulances on arrival to emergencies in the past and this will also help to serve as a 'Drop off' area for elderly, disabled and patients with limited mobility.

REPORT:

The location referred to is the driveway of the surgery premises and the adjacent laneway. On inspection, although the area was extremely busy, there was no evidence of any obstruction of this location. The wall of the premises has a sign stating "Emergency Vehicle Parking Only" It is not proposed to install a yellow box. It should be noted that a yellow box is not appropriate as a parking control measure and that " Emergency Vehicle Only Parking" has no legal basis.
