South Dublin County Council Crest

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor W. Carey

That this Area Committee agrees that the council should take measures to ensure cars cannot park and drive upon the green at Riversdale Green, such as installing of perimeter bollards around the edge. (Large vehicle are being parked upon the green here and thus destroying the grass verge).

REPORT:

The boundary of the open space along the road in Riversdale estate is approximately 430 meters long.  The installation of bollards around the edge is cost prohibitive and would not be an appropriate treatment to address the matter of parking at this location.

In accordance with Section 3.1 of the Parks and Open Spaces bye laws, “Save with the permission of the Council, no person shall bring into a park any mechanically propelled vehicle which includes for the avoidance of doubt motorcycles, motor-cross/quad bikes or other powered vehicles. Such vehicles may be removed from the park/open space by An Garda Siochana.  

Residents who are experiencing difficulties with parking on the open space should report the matter to An Garda Síochána.
