Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive to upgrade the paths in a section of parkland in Dodder Valley Park which have been formed by ongoing pedestrian use to permanent pathways similar to those in the section of parkland opposite the Speaker Connolly pub (see map, paths shown in yellow).
The relevant section of parkland is within the boundaries of Old Bawn Rd., Firhouse Rd.,the pedestrian bridge over the Dodder and the River Dodder itself.
A stepped access to connect with the pathways at the upper level pedestrian bridge should also be included in any upgrade.
The existing paths are in a poor condition and can be dangerous particularly in wet weather. The overgrown grass etc. can also cause problems.
Can the Chief Executive confirm a plan of action and a programme for such an upgrade."

"To ask the Chief Executive for a review of the Ballycragh park playground, located at the entrance to the Park Community Centre, in terms of its age appropriateness. The playground is equipped for children over the age of 7 and is attracting groups of teenagers who loiter in the area. Currently, there is no playground for the under 7s in the Firhouse/Ballycullen area. The location of the playground at the Community Centre and carpark is ideal for parents with younger children who are currently not able to use the amenity. Can the equipment being used now be moved elsewhere in Ballycragh park and new play equipment installed that is more suited to younger children"
"To ask the Chief Executive whether hedging/fencing or a combination of the two can be erected around Whitechurch pitches, as scramblers and quads frequently tear up the pitch and scatter the kids playing there."

"That the Chief Executive reconsiders the decision to proceed with a Playspace in Glendoher Park. There are very serious anti-social and criminal activities ongoing in the Park and the full extent was not known at the public meeting in June when the decision to go ahead was made. The Community Garda has been asked to log all activities in the area over the next three months and the decision should be reviewed at that stage. Even those who previously voted for this Playspace have now changed their minds because of the ongoing difficulties in the Park."
"That the Chief Executive consider installing a bench opposite the church on the Green at Knocklyon. The Knocklyon Network and Tidy Towns group have been trying to have two benches out on the mound at the shopping centre to no avail, and the community would appreciate some Council engagement on this."
"That the Chief Executive outlines how many complaints were received regarding grass cutting within the RTT area over the past three months and further details what changes are to be made next year to avoid the same situation."

"That the Chief Executive recognises the recent difficulties and delays with regards to the painting of double-yellow no parking lines in the Rathfarnham-Templeogue/Terenure area.
