COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 23, 2024

MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

That this committee reasserts agreement reached to motion no. 3 (Item 71447 - June 2021 ACM) and requests a clear commitment, timeline from and details of proposed locations from the manager, for new seating at suitable locations on all main hilly approaches into Lucan Village, that promotes and meets SDCC active travel policy.

REPORT:

There is no countywide programme, nor budget provision for the installation of benches. However, as part of setting the budget for 2024 there is scope to consider how a small programme of works could be put together, funded and agreed.

There will be some seating installed in the Lucan Village scheme but not on the ‘hilly approaches to Lucan Village’ as the scheme does not extend that far.

Seating will be installed on Cycle Routes in key locations as part of the Cycle South Dublin routes, such as the upcoming Canal Loop.
