"That the Manager provide a detailed report on the progress he is making to take the two small pieces of  open spaces behind the hoardings in Willbrook Lawn in charge."

• M. 2

"That this committee discusses the urgency of ensuring the development of the site at the old shopping Centre (McHugh’s) on St. James’s Road Greenhills now that the most recent planning application was declared withdrawn this month as the applicant (McHugh’s) did not submit the required additional information as requested. This is at least the 3rd planning application on this site.  It was agreed following my question put at the Council meeting 6^th April 2006 –almost a year ago - that a Compulsory Purchase order would be initiated. I was subsequently informed that site drawings for the CPO were being prepared and that the CPO was imminent, this was over 5 months ago. As this site is a total eyesore and the facilities e.g. Shops, Chemist, Post Office are greatly missed in the community, could the CPO be speeded up as it is obvious – once more by allowing withdrawal of current application– that the applicants have no intention of developing this site in the immediate future. The current derelict situation on this site for over 4 years must not be allowed to continue. " 

• M. 3

"That the Manager consider the feasibility of acquiring the Builders Yard at the rear of Muckross Grove by C.P.O. and that he give a report on the matter."
