Child Safety for Seabury Estate, Malahide

We are asking Fingal County Council to implement new child safety measures for the Seabury Estate in Malahide.

Child Safety Measures Needed:
1. New ramp between Seabury Place and Seabury Crescent
2. New signage to say 'Slow Down - Children at play' along Seabury Lane and Seabury Crescent
3. Speed limit to be reduced (currently it's 50km/hr)
4. Business Work Vans are parked out on the road (we kindly request that they park in their driveways or elsewhere)
________________________________________________

Why are we requesting these safety measures?

- In recent years, many of the local, younger children have been playing outside on the road.
- They usually play here in the cul-de-sac or just beyond the dangerous junction where Seabury Lane meets Seabury Crescent.
- Signs to indicate appropriate driving speeds / children at play are not clearly visible.
- It has been noted that some cars drive from Seabury Place onto Seabury Lane at high speeds and with little regard for the children at play.
- Many cars also turn from Estuary Road onto Seabury Lane and drive at high speeds, despite the small ramp which is about half way down the road.
- There are cars parked along Seabury Lane, including 2 or sometimes 3 large white work vans parked along Seabury Lane which make it more difficult for drivers to see children playing up ahead.
