QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive when he will apply to TII for funds to carry out the traffic survey-plan for Rathcoole , Newcastle and Saggart as per and to comply with the objective in the County Development plan?

REPLY:

The County Development Plan has the following Transport Objective (SM6 SLO 1: ) To conduct traffic and transport study for Rathcoole, Saggart and Newcastle and the surrounding areas following the publication of the GDA Strategy review to 2042 which will clarify the context within which the road network in the area will function and to include a review of HGV movement.

I have been in contact with the NTA in relation to funding this detailed transport and sustainable movement study.

I have been asked by the NTA to compile a scoping document setting out the terms of reference for this sustainable movement study.  The NTA will review this scoping document with a view to deciding if they will fund a detailed sustainable movement study for the Rathcoole, Saggart and Newcastle areas.

I am hoping to have this scoping document ready to send to the NTA on 1 March 2024.
