MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That this Council considers installing bollards along the grass at Dispensary Lane to discourage cars from parking here as they block access for residents getting in and out of Loreto Abbey as well as really churning up the grass.

REPORT:

There are double yellow lines at this location, and as some areas are worn, the lining will be refreshed along its entire length. 

There is a prevention measure in place and we will continue to ensure periodic enforcement takes place, including alerted AGS to illegal parking at this location. 

It is not proposed to add bollards as they prevent access to the verge for routine maintenance purposes, and similarly, they invariably get damaged and place unnecessary demands on resources for replacements.
