The Council receives over 300 requests annually for statutory signing and lining measures.

The Traffic Advisory Group (TAG) deals with all of these requests.

This group was formally established in August 2006 and comprises representatives from An Garda Síochána and engineers of the Traffic Section.

As well as discussing requests received from the public, the elected members, Dublin Bus and business groups, TAG examines issues identified directly by the Traffic Section and An Garda Síochána.

The TAG meets monthly for discussion on an agenda of items, a copy of which is circulated to the elected members for their information. The recommendations of each meeting of the TAG, is brought to the Area Committees for noting under Council Business entitled “Consultation with Garda Commissioner”.

As this is a statutory or legal procedure decided upon by the traffic engineers and An Garda Siochana a formal request for TAG items should be sent by email to traffic@dlrcoco.ie or in writing to the Transportation Department, Traffic Section, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.

It is important to outline the reasons for your request and include, if possible, supporting evidence as to why it should be warranted.

A TAG requested can be any of the following:

• Stop
• yield
• no entry
• yellow box
• hatching
• mandatory signs
• prohibitory signs
• single yellow line
• double yellow line
• loading bay
• school keep clear
• disabled persons parking bay
• continuous white line
• clearway
• weight restriction ban
• no u-turn

Once a lining or signing request has been provided you are legally required to abide by them or you will be subject to a punishment or penalty.

Preliminary designs for the project are published by the Council before a public consultation process. Once approved, a detailed design is carried out.

The public consultation period runs for 8 weeks and is advertised in the national press and by leaflet drop in the locality.

The Council holds public information evenings during the consultation period at a venue in the area of the proposed works.

Also, during the consultation period drawings are available for viewing at the Planning Department in County Hall, Dún Laoghaire and at the Council Offices in Dundrum. 

Details and drawings for current and proposed projects are also available.  

Your views will help shape the direction of the final Local Area Plan. 

Your written submissions / observations will be reviewed and summarised, and recommendations made in response to them in a Chief Executive's Report. 

This report will be then circulated to the Elected Members for their consideration in spring/summer 2025. 

The Elected Members may agree to make the Local Area Plan, by way of a resolution, with minor amendments at a Council Meeting in the summer of 2025. 

Thank you for taking the time to have your say in the process by making a written submission / observation and helping to shape the policy framework for your area. 

Guidelines for the Implementation of Paid Parking Control Schemes are contained in the Parking Control Bye-Laws, 2007.  For an area to be considered for Paid parking control a signed petition by a number of residents should be submitted by the Residents Association, or individually on behalf of a group of residents, to the Parking Section of the Municipal Services Department.  The request will be assessed by the Municipal Services Department.  A traffic / parking survey will be carried out to assess the nature and extent of the parking problem in the area, whether the implementation of Paid parking control is considered appropriate, the suitability of the area and the capacity to accommodate a Paid parking control scheme.  In primarily residential areas, if it is considered that Paid Parking is warranted, a survey and accompanying drawing will be circulated to eligible residents to obtain the residents preference in relation to the proposed introduction of Paid Parking.  A report on the proposed introduction of a parking scheme will then be brought to the Area Committee in which the proposed Scheme is located for approval. If the Scheme is approved by the Area Committee it will then go to the full Council for final approval to introduce the Scheme.

When preparing the bathing water sampling calendar, effort is made to spread out the sampling days. However, due to tides and the requirement to sample during high tide, and factoring in the opening times of the central lab, there are only limited days when sampling can be completed and delivered on time to the lab.

Any structure including those of local interest that meet one or more of the Categories of Special Interest in accordance with Section 51 (1) of the Planning & Development Act, 2000 and Section 2.5.4 of the DOEHLG Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines may be considered for inclusion onto the Record of Protected Structures (RPS).  
    
A planning authority may add (or delete) a structure from the RPS as appropriate:

a) in accordance with a review or variations of the County Development Plan as set out in Section 12 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 or

b) at any other time by following prescribed procedures laid out under Section 55. 
The making of an addition (or deletion) is a function that is a matter for the elected representatives.

Any person who wishes a structure be added to or deleted from the Record of Protected Structures may apply to the Conservation Division for consideration. Supplementary information should accompany the address of the building, such as maps, photographs, and any known historical information.

A notification process also forms part of the formal procedure to add a structure onto the Record of Protected Structures.  This involves notifying the owners/occupiers of the structure, along with certain interested bodies of the proposal and also the public by means of a newspaper advertisement.  The owner/occupier of the structure and any member of the public are entitled to make comments on the proposal to the authority.  These comments are taken into account before the planning authority’s elected members decide whether or not the structure should become a protected structure.
