That this committee requests that South Dublin County Council supports the residents of Cherryfield and Beechfield who wish to find a permanent solution for the ongoing graffiti that continues to occur at the Pavillion building in Beechfield Park. The Residents Association have been advised that painting over the graffiti is not an option, due to the blockwork type. It is also clear that even if they could, it would not discourage further graffiti. Indeed, it might even encourage it. We therefore request that the building be legitimately given over to local street artists who can create a piece or pieces of street art that will promote community, minding your mental health and empowerment. This could also help discourage others from tagging the wall in future.
That the Chief Executive agrees that given the ongoing problem of Anti-Social Behaviour at the new playground in Carrigwood, to recommend cutting back the hedging between it and the road to afford greater passive surveillance.
That this Area Committee requests that Council Management engage with Bolton Park Residents to take over management of a small playground within their new estate as a means of resolving public liability insurance, that they are unable to secure.
That the Chief Executive agrees to the have area of green scrub adjacent to "Address Provided" cleared so that it may be properly maintained by the local RA. This area is a magnet for drug use and illegal dumping.
That the Chief Executive agrees to urgently repair the pedestrian bridge on Edmondstown Road - there is significant damage to the bridge and is in need of repair.
That in accordance with the wishes of local schools and the aim of the Sports Pitch Strategy to ensure maximum flexibility, the new pitch at Mount Carmel will have portable goals to ensure its suitability for multiple sports.

That the Chief Executive would consider removing lamp post number 2 in Church Lane in Rathfarnham as it is choked with ivy and is inoperative and has been so for some time, and to replace it with a more traditional style of lamp post, like those in Rathfarnham village. At present, the lighting in the laneway is very poor and residents can be uneasy traversing the laneway after dark on their own.

That this Area Committee requests that a public wall is built higher to prevent access to the Owendoher River on Ballyboden Road near the Fairbrook House properties. Anti social behaviour and littering is occuring on the riverbank as young kids are gaining access over a small wall and using the river in a dangerous way for jumping or diving. I have attached a photo of the precise location.
