MOTION NO.26

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive carries out a safety audit for wheelchair users, visually impaired, buggy pushers and other vulnerable footpath users on the circular route passing Elmbrook Avenue, Esker Lodge, Esker Park, The Glebe, Esker Glebe, Esker Manor, Castle Road, Esker Meadow, Esker Woods and Elmbrook estate, all used to access Lucan and Esker ET National Schools, Gaelscoileanna Naomh Phadraig and Eiscir Riada, Colaiste Cois Life and the new swimming pool complex, with a view to scheduling much needed accessibility improvements in the near future; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

Road Maintenance do not have resources to undertake a survey of this size.

If the Lucan Cllrs would like this survey to be undertaken we can procure a consultant to undertake it. This survey will be paid for out of the 2024 Lucan footpath allocation and will result in less footpaths being repaired in the Lucan area in 2024.
