Those who live in the area are probably aware of the Councils plans to bring in car clamping from the 1st of June across the whole of Dunlaoghaire-Rathdown County. The clamping will be 7 days a weeks until 10pm and will be controlled by a private company.
The Council also want to have Pay & Display charges up until 10pm 7 days a week and they are looking to increase the amount of pay & display areas including outside Dart stations, sports clubs & amenities and into residential areas.
The Council are having a vote in May to decide on whether to bring in Clamping a number of Councillors are against Clamping, however there are a number who are undecided or are for clamping; most of these councillors are from the Dundrum area and other areas away from Dun Laoghaire Town.
If clamping is brought into Dun Laoghaire it will kill the town along with other Villages in the area.
The county manager in Dun Laoghaire at the moment is Owen Keegan who formerly worked with Dublin City Council and was responsible for introducing clamping in that area; he is now out to do the same thing in Dun Laoghaire as he sees it as a good way to make money for the council.
Anyone who knows of this guy will know that he promised clamping would only be for cars causing major obstructions but eventually clampers were let run amok around the city clamping all and asunder as the private company had to reach quotas.
Also FG General election candidate and current cathoirlach of DLRCC has come out as very pro clamping claiming that it will only be repeat offenders who are clamped, however going by Owen Keegans previous track record in Dublin City it is safe to say that it will only be a matter of time before the private clamping company will be operating on a free for all quota system.
Please email the following list of councillors and let them know that you are against clamping and the extension of pay and display areas and increase in charges.
