Confirmation & Re-afirmation of Minutes of Meeting of 21st November, 2018
"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to repair the pathway on Drumcairn Parade and carry out works to alleviate the issues of flooding on this pathway and the pathways in Butler McGee Park. The flooding issues are hindering school children going to and from school and having a huge effect on those who use mobility scooters. Given that we are now into a prolonged period of bad weather, we call on the Chief Executive to deal with this as a matter of urgency."
"Earlier this year I carried out a traffic survey that I forwarded to the Roads section of SDCC. In this survey, the Orlagh roundabout area of Scholarstown Road was identified as one of the more serious traffic bottlenecks in the Ballycullen/Knocklyon area. This area was already suffering from traffic congestion and the new road layout has plainly exacerbated this. The reason given for the narrowing of the road was to improve safety, but it has, in fact, done the opposite.
As far as this Area Committee is concerned, traffic congestion in this area is the primary issue for residents. It impacts on quality of life and adds to daily stress.
When I raised this before I was assured that traffic flow would improve once the roadworks was completed.
This is an area where the population is expanding, potential development on the adjacent lands at the former home of Liam Cosgrave would be disastrous for the area if this roundabout stays as it is. Surely a design that accommodates the flow of traffic but does not compromise safety is achievable.
The redesign of Scholarstown Road and the Orlagh roundabout has clearly not worked. This requires immediate action."
"That the chief Executive considers the Council depot known locally as the "coffee shop" on Greenfort Gardens for use by the Quarryvale Family and Resource centre. They are willing to seek funding and to fundraise to bring it up to a useable standard and are willing to submit a full plan if the Council will consider this request. At Quarryvale Family Resource Centre, the focus is on supporting the family, and thereby the whole community by offering activities and programmes that strengthen the individual and the family, giving them tools to cope with everyday life as well as with larger issues and problems, and support them as they move on with their life. The activities and services include child care in there creche, adult education, counselling, holistic therapies, family supports, parenting programmes, information and advice, support groups etc. QFRC and indeed Quarryvale and the surrounding area would benefit from a dedicated building to expand services and provide a one shop stop for all these much needed services’’
