QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Can the Chief Executive inform the Area Committee of the communications and engagement currently taking place between the appointed contractor and residents in Sarsfield’s Park in relation to traffic management arrangements and resident notification. In this context, can the Chief Executive outline: (i) how the Council oversees contractor communications with residents; (ii) what measures are in place to ensure that information provided is clear, accessible and accurate; and (iii) how the Council monitors and intervenes where traffic management arrangements on site do not align with approved drawings or conditions.

REPLY:

Ongoing communication and engagement is taking place between the appointed contractor and residents of Sarsfield’s Park in relation to the works and associated traffic management arrangements. In accordance with contractual requirements, the contractor engages directly with residents in advance of and during works that impact access or traffic movement. This engagement includes resident notification letters issued in advance of planned works, email notifications to councillors, information displayed on the site noticeboard, and the provision of site contact details for resident queries.

The council oversees contractor communications and traffic management arrangements through the project supervision team. The contractor is required to submit all resident communications for review and approval by the Housing Department and project team prior to issue, to ensure that information is clear, accessible, accurate, and consistent with the approved traffic management plans. Traffic management on site is monitored through regular inspections and where works do not align with approved plans, the project team will issue corrective instructions until full compliance is achieved.
