That the Manager would consider introducing a coffee shop type facility to support the pet farm and new art studio in Corkagh Park (separate to existing shop at lakes).

Mot (10)
Submitted by:
Councillor B. Bonner
Responsibility:
Bill Kearney

That the Manager would submit a report on the care and maintenance of trees and plants in the Clondalkin Village area with particular reference to:-

1, The large wooden planters which are around the village and the Council offices.  They are in a very bad state, with many of them falling apart.  They have a very neglected appearance and don't appear to have been planted up at all.

2. The trees on the Orchard Road and Tower Road.  These need to be tended to as shoots on the lower trunks are spoiling their appearance.  Also the beds under the trees are in a bad state and overgrown with weeds.  Will they be planted up with seasonal bedding?  As it stands they are depressingly neglected. 

I would hope that these issues might be attended to before the Clondalkin Village Festival.  If that is the case this question will be redundant.  If not it will be somewhat farcical for the Council to be launching a village festival when the planting for which the Council is responsible in the centre of our potentially beautiful village is in such a sad and sorry state.

Development

Questions

Qu (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor T. Ridge
Responsibility:
John Browne

To ask the Manager how this Council could allow a funfair to take place on a derelict and dangerous site on the Ninth Lock Road?  I was of the opinion that we were dealing with the owner to repair fences and clean the whole site.  The Ninth Lock Road looks appalling.
