"That the Chief Executive recognises the Dodder Valley Park from Knocklyon to Old Bawn be designated as a Regional Park by SDCC. This should lead to the immediate implementation of an upgrading to a proper park with the development of a plan to provide Maintenance staff, Depot, Playground, Planting, Pathways, Exercise machines, etc. whilst Considering the Heritage and Biodiversity elements."
"That the opening times of Tymon Park be changed to an earlier opening time. 10am is not suitable for many users and potential users. I propose a time of 8am at the latest."
"A builder working on Cypress Grove South has hacked the tops off a row trees to facilitate building works and had no authorisation to do so.
The neighbouring residents have been waiting for a number of years to get the same row of trees pruned by the council. We cannot let this go without dealing with it. It doesn't seem fair that those abiding by the rules get nothing and those who helped themselves get everything.
Does this amount to vandalism. How are the Council going to deal with it."
"That this committee asks the Chief Executive to divert some of the recently allocated funding for Orwell Roundabout into upgrading Templeville Roundabout which is in a very bad state of repair."
"That the Chief Executive gives a full and detailed account of the grass cutting schedule for the Rathfarnham/Templeogue-Terenure area, outlining the staff numbers involved and the training given to said staff as there have been numerous complaints about the quality of the service, leaving areas almost impassible with mounds of wet grass, causing dangerous conditions."
"That a footpath be provided along the side of the fence at Scoil Treasa, connecting the Shopping Centre/Church to Woodlawn Park Grove and Carrigwood."
Upkeep of Roundabout at Junction of Templeville Road/Cypress Grove Road/Wainsfort Road
"Further to my previous request (1183930) to have the grass cut on the roundabout at the junction of Templeville Road/Cypress Grove Road/Wainsfort Road, I notice that the roundabout is still in very poor condition.
At the moment, the grass is so high that it is blocking sight lines of motorists. The Council have received sponsorship for this roundabout in the past. It also makes sense to keep this roundabout in a decent state of repair in an effort to attract potential sponsorship."
"That this Committee asks the Chief Executive, as part of the upcoming tree planting programme to examine the possibility of planting trees on the banks of the Poddle River to replace some that were removed by local residents."
"That the Chief Executive outlines the future vision for Glendoher Park. There is a concern from local residents that if a Play Area and Adult Gym facility are added to Glendoher Field - which is 2.75 acres - this will limit the flat playing area for casual games of football, rounders, and so forth. Add to that the quite recent creation of a large mound on one half of the field means that the amount of flat playing space is now quite limited - enough for just one reasonable game of children’s football."
Environment
Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the dumping/littering in the laneway at the rear of *details provided* which has been reported on several occasions; to ask if the business at this premises are responsible for cleaning this up and monitoring the location, and if not who is?"

"That the Chief Executive undertakes to repair the damaged and dangerous laneway in Anne Devlin estate, Rathfarnham. Elderly residents in the area are delighted with the improvements to the one between Butterfield Park and Pinewood Park, and are hoping the same improvements can be made to the one in Anne Devlin as it is a vital access point for them going to the shops and church."
