That this ACM requests reports, plans and ideas as to how the volume of social and affordable housing will be improved in both the Rathfarnham-Templeogue LEA and the Firhouse-Bohernabreena LEA over the next 3 years, 5 years and 10 years. Are there targets set? Are we reliant on Long Term Leasing and what will SDCC do once (if) that is stood down as a social housing policy response and the bulk of new development are Buy To Rent apartments and homes. We would appreciate it if the manager would make a statement on the matter, one that is extremely urgent in every sense of the word.

That the Manager reports on the outstanding planning issues in relation to the Ballyboden Primary Care Centre. It was only temporarily open over Christmas and there was traffic chaos in the area due to the fact that the necessary double yellow lines haven't been completed - both outside the centre and at the entrance to the neighbouring Moyville Estate. Also, promised works to cut back overgrowth at the site still haven't been carried out, creating a danger for motorists in the area.

That the Manager facilitates the installation of two name rocks on the Knocklyon Road. There are a large number of suitable rocks on the site of the Homeville Part 8 which would be ideal. It is suggested one would go at the corner of Knocklyon Road and Firhouse road across from Lansdowne on the Blue Haven side. The other one could go on the Intersection of Ballycullen Rd. and Firhouse Rd., opposite Mortons but on the Delanys pub side.

That the Manager investigates the footpath repairs at the laneway leading into the Knocklyon Close estate. The new path leading onto the laneway is uneven, poorly finished and is a slip and trip hazard for local residents. This is another example of below standard footpath repairs in the area and I would appreciate a statement from the management in relation to when these works will be recitified. Please see photos attached.
