QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Chief Executive if the Council will agree to improve the visual look of the roundabout between Rochfort and Abbeydale through landscaping and planting in a manner that will still ensure adequate visibility and conform with best practice from a safety perspective?

REPLY:

The roundabout between Rochfort and Abbeydale is at an elevated position.  Vehicles approaching the roundabout along Castle Road have restricted visibility due to the topography.  To preserve the existing sightlines and maintain safety it is not proposed to landscape the roundabout.  This existing grass area will be retained and kept cut as part of the grass cutting programme for the area.
