QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to re examine the road surface along the Newcastle road as a number of utility lids/shores have dipped in the road and its resulting in cars driving around them to avoid damage to the car. Could the Chief Executive also make a statement as to whether there has been an increase in utility shores along the Newcastle over the last few years given the volume of development in the area over the same period.

REPLY:

Ironworks in the road such as gullies, manholes and chamber covers are the responsibility of the relevant utility.

We have recently repaired some gullies and manholes and will be engaging with utilities for them to correct any defects in their chamber covers
