South Dublin County Council have initiated the Safe School Zone programme to delivery safety measures in front of schools across the county.

Belgard Heights NS (Solas Chriost) on Cookstown Road are a candidate for such works. An interview with the principal and a site analysis was carried out in April/May 2026. It was noted that there is a concerned about dangerous driver behaviour and safety at the school gates, and supported works to calm traffic and improve visibility of the front of school area.

 

SDCC are proposing the following works in front of the school on Belgard Heights NS (Solas Chriost):

  • High Friction markings on the road at either end of the school front and signage to show drivers that they are entering a School Zone.
  • Coloured high friction roundels along the road surface to highlight the school frontage.
  • Installation of pencil bollards along edge of kerb and to redefine entrance, to prevent parking near and at the school gate.
  • Associated services, line marking, signage and works.
