"That the Chief Executive honours the commitment given to the Park Community Centre & local residents at a recent Deputation that Ballycragh Park would be regularly maintained by the Parks Department. Immediately following the Deputation, the Park was maintained in good order, but more recently this work has stopped and is now in a state of general disrepair."
"That the Chief Executive add the trees on Bohernabreena Road across from the Old Mill and onwards towards the mountains to the pruning list - they are blocking the view of traffic coming out of Allenton Avenue."
"That this Committee calls on our Public Realm Team to improve the look of Grange Downs cycle track/greenway. It is a well used through way and continues to suffer the ongoing scourge of grafitti. Can an assessment be carried out to consider planting suitable hedgerow along the graffiti hotspots and also to identify the biodiversity site running adjacent to the cycle route as the county pilot site for installing innovative signage informing residents of a biodiverse planting site."
"That the Chief Executive look at the tree lined pathway that runs between Woodlawn Park Drive and Woodlawn Park Avenue to the Firhouse Road which is a fantastic asset to the Firhouse community. It is well used by residents going to Scoil Carmel Junior School. Of late, it has become very overgrown. It is also being used to dump garden and organic waste which is attracting rats to the area. With a little more attention, this could be prevented. Could this pathway be included on the cleaning schedule for the area"
