Housing Supply & Mixed Tenure Developments Update
"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to upgrade the fencing between Cherrywood Crescent and Corkagh Park from the cul-de-sac to the pedestrian entrance in order to provide better access for wheelchair users and parents with buggies, and to ensure the integrity of the newly established cul-de-sac at Cherrywood Crescent by raising the heights of the existing fence."

That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to immediately set up a High Level Task Force to deal with the increasing & ongoing environmental issues and serious anti-social issues in Mac Uillium Estate. This High Level Task Force should include Senior Council Staff, Senior Members of the Garda, Barnardos & all other relevant Service Providers & to meet as a matter of urgency.
To ask the Chief Executive to arrange an inspection of the two large trees outside 11 Moorfield Avenue and immediate works be carried out?
These trees are causing huge concern in the estate and as Moorfield is not listed on the 2017-2019 programme it could be some time before these concerns are addressed.
"To ask the Chief Executive for a list of Part 8 projects for Tallaght Central at pre-design, proposal, launch or design phase for Tallaght Central LEA?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm if there are any works planned or scheduled for the tennis courts on Sylvan Drive, Kingswood Heights and, if there are any, to outline them?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm that the tennis courts on Sylvan Drive in Kingswood Heights belongs to SDCC? Picture attached"
"That this Area Committee calls upon the Chief Executive to ensure that the relevant documentation being sought by South Dublin County Council to complete the transfer of Orchard Lodge premisis is done in an efficient manner as is possible.
That this matter should now be expedited as a matter of urgency due to the necessary need for this facility to be provided for use by senior citizens in the Clondalkin, Dublin 22 area."
"A condition of the planning permission granted in 2003 for the Orchard Lodge apartment block in Clondalkin (SD03A/0271) was that there would be a community meeting space (Senior Citizens Centre) provided. Sixteen years later the Community Space has never been fitted out or made accessible to community groups. Recent questions and correspondence with SDCC has elicited the following updates as to the situation:
"The Council's Law Department are working to finalise the remaining legal compliance issues that will allow the Council to complete the transfer of ownership on the premises.
The matter currently rests with the vendor for the submission of various documents for review by the Council's Law Department"
"Complexities in progressing the lease arrangement on the community facility have arisen which have led to delay. Documentation confirming compliance in relation to building regulations is awaited. The receipt of this documentation is necessary to allow the transfer of the legal title of the unit to the Council. The Council will continue to endeavour to complete the transfer as soon as possible."
The foot dragging wrt to making the space ready for use is a cause of irritation and concern for local senior citizens organisations in Clondalkin. For their benefit and for the benefit of the elected representatives,that this Area Committee is informed by council officials the following:
What complexities have arisen with regards to progressing the lease arrangement?
What precise documents relation to compliance with building regulations are outstanding from the vendor?
Does the council staff envisage these documents being received in the next three months?
A condition of the planning permission granted in 2003 for the Orchard Lodge apartment block in Clondalkin (SD03A/0271) was that there would be a community meeting space (Senior Citizens Centre) provided. Sixteen years later the Community Space has never been fitted out or made accessible to community groups. As part of the Clondalkin 300K Have Your Say initiative many local groups sought to have the fit out of the meeting space listed for consideration as part of the 300K initiative. These same groups were however convinced not to apply to include the community meeting space in the 300k initiative as the money necessary would be found elsewhere in the Council budget. Can the Council confirm that the fit out of the social space is planned or should local groups have insisted on including the space in the 300k Have Your Say initiative?
"Can an update be provided to members regarding the role of South Dublin County Council in ensuring that the stretch of the Grand Canal that passes through Clondalkin is safe for pedestrians and cyclists?"
"During periods of prolonged snow fall such as the so-called 'Beast from the East' in 2018, South Dublin County Council ensures to the best of its ability that roads are kept clear. Less emphasis is placed on clearing footpaths. This choice discriminates against pedestrians. Can the Council investigate acquiring plough or brush attachments for the fleet of sweeping vehicles that operate from Clondalkin so that the footpaths in the area can be cleared in the event of prolonged snowfall? It is acknowledged that some footpaths were cleared manually in Clondalkin by South Dublin County Council staff during the 'Beast from the East'. See attached photos of possible vehicle attachments?"
9. Any other Business
To ask the Chief Executive for an update in relation to the programme of foothpath repairs. What is the plan for the next 12 months in terms of the number of estates, which estates, the criteria and what regard is taken for reported footpath issues?
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on Planning requirements re Construction traffic using Dodsboro and Newcastle Roads - what requirements are there, including washing of wheels, and any other requirements or agreements aimed at reducing detrimental impact on the quality of life of existing residents of construction traffic to do with new housing development in the Adamstown Strategic Development Zone.
"That this Area Committee gives a full and detailed update on the the three community centres promised for the areas:
Newcastle Community Centre, Saggart Community Centre and Clondalkin Community Centre."
"That this Area Committee investigate plans to re-open the fishing lakes in Corkagh Park. This was a brilliant amenity not only for local anglers but it had a reputation far and wide until it's closure. There would still be plenty of interest and support if it were reopened."
