Thursday, 9th April 2015
ITEM NO. 29
Question: Councilllor B. Dennehy:
“To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the maintenance programme of the
parking metres on the Main Street, Rush as the metres from my own and
constituents observations are continually out of action and one machine at the
harbour side of the Skerries Road Junction currently has a message written on it on
how to get a ticket printed as it is currently faulty?”
Reply:
The meters in Rush are inspected a number of times a week and any faults are
reported to the maintenance contractor for repair. Recently there has been a
problem with batteries in some of the machines in Rush, this problem has now been
resolved. The button board on meter RU8 (at the harbour side of the Skerries Road
Junction) was faulty and has been replaced and the meter is now in working order.
Meters that are continually out of order will be included for consideration in the
Meter Replacement Programme. The meters in Rush will continue to be monitored
closely.
