ITEM NO. 11
The Current Road Works
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to allow free car parking on the Main street in Rush in
the coming months as a gesture of compensation in order to encourage footfall to
alleviate the extreme hardship endured by reduced footfall as reported across the
board from the local business community in the town during the period of the Rush /
Skerries Road closure."
Reply:
The closure of the Rush/Skerries Road was necessitated by the works required to
upgrade the Rush Waste Water Collection system. This closure inevitably caused
inconvenience to a large number of people and not just the local business
community. It is not proposed to alter the parking arrangements currently in
force.
