Could Parks Department provide a detailed report of the works that have been completed in Cabbage Patch over the last five years with costings and details on dates etc.  Could parks also provide plans and costings to maintain and enhance the Cabbage Patch that over the next five year council term.

Q.1      Councillor Emma Blain

To ask the manager to replace the bulbs in the street lamps on Wellington Lane with brighter bulbs. Residents have reported that recently installed bulbs are not providing adequate luminosity and that they are causing safety concerns, particularly with the onset of darker evenings. 

Reply:

The street lights on Wellington Lane were upgraded to LED street lights under our Public Lighting Upgrade Project last July and meet the required lighting standard for such a lane. The luminosity should therefore be fine.

Q.2      Councillor Emma Blain

To ask the manager to undertake urgent repairs on the footpath on Chelmsford Road, outside the new apartments beside Ranelagh Dental. Trip hazards have been left in the footpath, including a blue pipe and metal plate embedded in the tarmacadam. At least one trip accident has already been reported at this location. 

Reply:

An inspection of the footpath on Chelmsford Road was carried out by RMS and an Irish Water temporary reinstatement has been identified. This reinstatement has been referred to Irish Water for permanent reinstatement as soon as possible.

                    ii.        Implementing the new seating on Kimmage Road Lower at the corner with Sundrive Road

                   iii.        Installing a new bin on Rathmines Road Lower at the corner with Frankfort Avenue

Q.4      Councillor Eoin Hayes

To ask the manager the timeline and implementation plan for paid parking on Oxford Road. It was reported to me by a resident that they had submitted a unanimous petition and application and are still waiting for implementation for 18 months.

Reply:

The residents of Oxford Road have been balloted, the closing date of which was the 20^th September 2024. Those ballots will be counted and if there is a majority vote in favour to add permit parking to this road, the scheme will be referred back to the Traffic Advisory Group (TAG) for the statutory processes to be completed. If the scheme is voted in it goes back to the next TAG meeting, there is a consultation with the Gardaí and the STATs and Managers Order will need to be drawn up.

Once this has all been done, the residents will be informed when the scheme will become active.

Q.5      Councillor Eoin Hayes
