Councillor A. Edge
Responsibility:
Laurence Colleran

That the Chief Executive report on the decision to relocate the Teenspace in Ballycragh Park from its agreed location, detailing: (i) the issue with the previously agreed location and the date it became known (ii) the extent of the assessment of the potential impacts of re-siting the Teenspace to its present location on biodiversity in view of the council's obligations under the National Biodiversity Plan and the county's Biodiversity Action Plan. (iii) The means by which members of the public can consult the relevant documentation mandated under article 81(2)(d)(i) and what recourse is available to them if they seek to challenge the decision to move the Teenspace.

 

Mot (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Maire Ni Dhomhnaill

That this ACM request that a tree audit be carried out for the D12 and D6W areas of SDCC to ascertain how many trees there are, how many stumps remain to be taken up, what and where grass verges might be possible planting areas and what and where are the concreted areas that might require more extensive works and tree pits. This specifically relates to the areas within this jurisdiction that have a significant lack of trees-Manor Estate, most of the Saints roads in Greenhills, parts of Perrystown, Cromwellfort Road and more. That the council should engage with local Councilors and local residents where a residents association is not in place and work together to ensure that the right trees are planted in the right areas and end the inequity that currently exists.

 

Mot (5)
Submitted by:
Councillor D. O'Donovan
Responsibility:
Laurence Colleran

That the Manager reports on why changes were made to the location of the Ballycragh Teen Space, specifically in relation to the impact on local wildlife and give assurances that a full review will be carried out if wildlife is negatively impacted as a result of the relocation.

 

Mot (6)
Submitted by:
Councillor A. Edge
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

That the Chief Executive, mindful of the impacts on wildlife of the relocation of Ballycragh Teenspace, implements measures to improve the quality of the habitat in the Park for wild birds by removing silt from the pond, improving water quality and exploring options to provide additional and extended safe breeding grounds for the birds inhabiting the area.

 

Mot (7)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

That this committee requests that the manager please install a suitable disability friendly entrance from the carpark to the pitches at the 8 acres/Greentrees Park that will enable power chair/wheelchair access.

Mot (8)
Submitted by:
Councillor A. Edge

That the Chief Executive inspect the strip or ground adjacent to the green space known as Molly's Field on Allenton Drive with a view to installing a footpath.

That this committee calls on the developer in relation to planning reference SD20A/0300 to make safe the site until such time as he is ready to resume works. There have already been a number of near misses on site and today the 25/08/2021 a young child was knocked off his bike due to poor site lines. This is a matter of the upmost importance and needs to be addressed immediately before someone is seriously hurt.
