MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

That this Area Committee request SDCC to install wooden bollards around the mini green at the end of the Woodford Meadows cul-de-sac in the same manner as wooden bollards are installed around the mini green at the end of the Woodford Crescent cul-de-sac. The bollard arrangement should take cognisance of access to the corner houses of the cul-de-sac.

REPORT:

The wooden bollards that were installed at the end of the cul de sac in Woodford Crescent were provided to prevent vehicles driving over the grass verge from Woodford Crescent onto Woodford Walk.  A review of the end of the cul de sac at Woodford Meadows will be carried out.  If a similar problem of cars driving over the grass verge onto Woodford Walk exists, bollards will be considered for installation.  The simplest way to prevent this activity is to install a straight line of bollards beside the Woodford Walk footpath.  This method of installation will be cognisant of vehicle access requirements to houses in the vicinity.  The final configuration of bollards will be determined by the presence of any underground services.
