Public Realm
Questions
To ask the Manager for an update on biodiversity plans for both Greenhills and Beechfield Park, Dublin 12.
To ask the Chief Executive to outline a timeline for the removal of 'kissing gates' from the parks and public spaces in Rathfarnham-Templeogue and Firhouse-Bohernabreena? New powers have been made available to An Garda Siochana to enforce the law on scramblers in public spaces, which changes the case for retention of kissing gates. As long as kissing gates remain in place, our excellent public spaces are less accessible to other residents, including wheelchair users, prams and bicycle users.
To ask the Chief Executive to repair/replace broken park seats in Ballycragh Park
To ask the Chief Executive that a large overgrown bush is heavily cut back on Glenbrook Park in Rathfarnham? The bush provides cover for anti social behaviour and illegal activity in the Summer months. A photo is attached.
