MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 19, 2021

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive if it is reasonable from a vehicle traffic perspective to have a number of construction sites simultaneously using the narrow streets of Clondalkin Village and to clarify how he justifies accepting commencement notices simultaneously on both the, much needed new Primary Care Centre on Boot Road, and the, lamentable Bartra Nursing home on Convent Road, the sites of both of which will be using the Boot Road/Convent Road where there are two primary schools?"

REPLY:

Please note that there are no restrictions on the timing of commencement notices or linkage of commencement notices between sites.
The Primary Care Centre and the Bartra Nursing Home will be bound by control measures in their Construction Management Plans. Proposals should avoid construction traffic at peak times and can only use agreed haul routes. There are sufficient measures in Traffic Management Plans to mitigate against any undue traffic congestion on the local road network.
