The March Area Committee received an update on the School Street in Malahide.

It has also resulted in a reduction in exposure to air pollution. The Council will be implementing school streets at other schools in Fingal.

The Council decided to allocate a further €320,000 towards these unfunded actions.
Parking enforcement aimed at improving the safety of vulnerable road users.
