QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the proposed closure of the Tay Lane footbridge at Rathcoole and if it is proposed to put in place alternative arrangements for those that traverse the bridge on a regular basis between Rathcoole and Newcastle, particularly school children who use this route. Has a date been agreed and can SDCC confirm the duration of the closure?

REPLY:

Due to the unavailability of specialist contractors this work has been deferred until July 2023.

This revised programme should reduce the impact to school children who use the bridge

Works are estimated to take 16 weeks
