MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To call on the manager to maintain the trees on the margins encroaching the footpath on Adamstown Road. In some places there is only 3ft between tree and the hedgerow causing obstruction to sightlines for pedestrians and cyclists.

REPORT:

The three year tree management programme for the period 2023 to 2025 was presented to the December meeting of the Lucan/Palmerstown/North Clondalkin area committee.  The programme as presented included Adamstown, however this was an error and should have stated Adamstown Road.  The programme will be corrected to include Adamstown Road.  The issue of obstruction to sightlines for cyclists and pedestrians will be examined and if required the pruning of these trees will be dealt with as a priority.
