That this Committee calls for the Parks Department to tackle the problems in Ballycragh Park, behind Parklands Court being caused by the bushes giving shelter to antisocial activity.
That this Committee recommend that the Council erect the goal posts which were removed at Rathcoole Saggart Park, so that the local team that were using the pitch , can return and play at their home venue.

Questions
To ask the Manager of the Community department to indicate the timeframe for the completion and opening of the Brookfield Community and Youth facility, to acknowledge that this is an extremely important development in this neighbourhood and that any further delay of this long awaited project will have a significantly detrimental effect on the surrounding community?
