Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council is currently preparing a ‘Noise Action Plan’ for the county. This strategic plan will cover environmental noise from traffic and heavy/light rail. An online consultation to inform the Action Plan is underway at  https://dlrcoco.citizenspace.com/transportation/preparation-of-an-environmental-noise-action-plan/

The main purpose of the Noise Action Plan is to:

• Inform and consult the public about noise exposure, its effects, and the measures which may be considered to address noise problems.
• Address strategic noise issues by drawing up an action plan to manage noise issues and their effects.
• To reduce noise where possible and maintain environmental acoustic quality in areas where it is of good quality.

The closing date for receipt of submissions is May 28^th 2018 at 12 noon.
