MOTION NO.17

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee requests that the Chief Executive (CE) conduct an assessment of the outdoor furniture placed outside local businesses in Lucan Village during the COVID-19 period. Reports have highlighted damage to this street furniture, and we seek confirmation on whether repairs and ongoing maintenance can be arranged. Additionally, we request clarification on where the responsibility lies for the upkeep and repair of these fixtures to ensure they continue to serve the community and enhance the village streetscape effectively.

REPORT:

The council are awaiting delivery of a new public outdoor seating area to replace the existing seating that was installed during the pandemic at the River Cafe. It is hoped that it will be installed in the coming weeks.

With regard to the upkeep/repair of it, this will be undertaken by road maintenance however we would hope that the day to day cleaning of the facility would be undertaken by local businesses whose customers avail of it.
