COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 25, 2025

MOTION NO.11

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That the Area Committee request South Dublin County Council to urgently address the recurring flooding issue on the footpath outside the boundary wall of Westbury Court, between the bus stop and the estate entrance on Newcastle Road. While previous works were carried out, including raising the wall and footpath to mitigate past flooding, the issue persists. Heavy rain continues to render the footpath impassable, forcing pedestrians onto the saturated grass and into oncoming traffic, creating a serious safety hazard. The Westbury Court Residents Association has repeatedly raised this issue with SDCC without remedial action. Given the ongoing risks to pedestrians, immediate intervention is required to provide a long-term solution.

REPORT:

This issue was flagged in 2024 and there was a low level intervention carried out to try resolve this.

This intervention has not resolved the issue and a more substantial piece of work will be undertaken to permanently resolve this issue
