MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"To ask the Manager to update on any plans for bus shelters on the Seskin View Road?"

REPLY:

The NTA has provided funding in 2024 for the installation of additional Bus shelters in this Local Authority.  As it is the first year for this new funding, SDCC are in the process of developing a fair and transparent method of deciding where this money should be spent.

This expenditure decision method will have to assess the required planning rules that apply, the available footpath space or public land at the proposed location, the safety of siting a Bus Shelter at the proposed location for example site lines to vehicle entrances, Public consultation and addressing any objections from residents, good geographical spread, the level of commuter use and the age profile of users of the proposed Bus Shelter location (not an exhaustive list of criteria)

When the traffic team have a method and process for prioritising the delivery of new Bus Shelters, we will invite county wide suggestions for new Bus shelter installations.  

If the elected member could send me exact details of where he wants covered shelter/s on Seskin view road, I will add it to the consideration list for a suitability decision.
