MOTION NO.13

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

Cathaoirleach's Business 

This committee agrees that SDCC should initiate a safety audit of the junction of the N7 and Boot Road.

REPORT:

This junction is in the charge of the TII.  The TII have completed a safety survey of this junction and deemed it a safe junction.  SDCC have sent several emails and videos to the TII showing evidence of accidents at this location. The TII have not responded positively to our requests that improvement works be carried out. I will try again to get a positive response from the TII to install additional barriers or other safety features at this junction.

This junction is not in the charge of SDCC.  I do not think it is prudent to spend our budgets on a section of road that is not in our charge.  This junction is the TII responsibility to manage and maintain.  I will impress on the TII that we have major concerns about this junction and we need some action at this location.
