To ask the Chief Executive for an update as to whether it can now take decisive action in relation to the unauthorised habitation of the former school site adjacent to Foxborough, the timescale for same; and if a statement can be made on the matter.
To ask the Chief Executive to report on the 300k Have Your Say orchard proposal and if some of this will be placed in the North Clondalkin area as agreed by the former Clondalkin Area Committee?
That the Chief Executive redresses the historic shortage of community and commercial spaces in the Lucan, North Clondalkin and Palmerstown areas that was in the past exacerbated by bad planning such as material contraventions, by proactively liaising with sports clubs and performing arts groups, whether voluntary or business-related, to identify and support the provision of much needed additional space, either through planning reviews or the provision of suitable sites on Council land; and if a statement can be made on the matter.
That the Manager provides a report on road by road footpath improvements over the last five years, outlines the areas scheduled for repair this year on a road/estate basis, indicates what scope exists for dealing with particularly bad footpaths on an individual basis, updates on whether any contractors have ever been ruled out of future contracts because of snag lists or delays in carrying out repairs; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

That the Chief Executive makes a plan to provide additional lighting along walkways in suitable public parks for the winter months, as irrespective of car park closures at sunset many parks such as Griffeen Park (which is the area raised with me), Glenaulin Park and parts of Waterstown Park etc are used in the early evening by walkers, runners, cyclists, teenagers etc and it would provide a greater feeling of public safety to have marked routes identified up to a set time after sunset which would not interfere with wildlife, but which could be switched on quickly following any reports of antisocial behaviour so as to assist Garda and other services relating to same.
This committee and its members have a significant role in monitoring the continuous development of the first SDZ in the county and country at Adamstown, which is still in the process of delayed development, and a second SDZ, at Clonburris, which is yet to commence. The members ask that separate SDZ meetings are added into the calendar (possibly at the alternate monthly 2.15 pm slot with the Traffic Management Meeting, prior to the Monthly LEA meeting). This will enable all stakeholders including the councillors to oversee progress and be kept fully informed. To date quarterly SDZ updates are included as a Headed Item in area committee meetings and while helpful, doesn't allow for sufficient time to discuss in detail issues raised by constituents, nor does it allow for these to be fully answered, given that the SDZ process involves a number of departments from time to time. This committee requests the Chief Executive makes the necessary arrangements.
Noting the recent accident outside St Mary's BNS to again ask the Manager to model and evaluate possible traffic management solutions through Lucan Village encompassing the area from the top of Chapel Hill to the village green.
