"This Committee requests the Chief Executive provide an updated detailed report on the swimming pool for Lucan including confirmation that the timeline for completion remains as previously reported."
"Further to Dublin Bus recently hosting a roadshow at Lucan Shopping Centre to give customers the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestion about the services in the Lucan area, which facilitated the members of the public to engage directly with the management and representative, that this Committee sends an invite to Dublin Bus to provide a report to member of its findings."
"That this Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine the possibility of introducing a project where the community will be provided with additional bulbs (daffodils) in line with the ‘bulbs not bonfire’ initiative. In addition to this request to examine areas where the grassland could be replaced with Wildflowers which would reduce the demand on grass cutting in areas and contribute to the environment.
(Please see attached detailed email and accompanied photos)
“I’m looking for the SDCC to donate 1000s of Daffodil bulbs to the communities of Lucan/Admanstown and Ronanstown so that we can plant them along the main roads in Lucan in order to brighten up the place and help offset antisocial behaviour and to get community estates out to take pride in the local area.
The place is littered with rubbish due to lack of bins at locations like bus stops and particularly along long stretches of footpaths where you can never find a bin so people just throw it on the ground or over the wall in to many of the estates.
On a separate matter, SDCC has thousands of acres of grassland that could be planted with Wildflowers to help the environment, help improve bee and insect numbers and allow for more bee keeping. It would also help to offset any spraying SDCC does and to help the heritage and wildlife in SDCC areas. I’d like to see some of grass in the Fforster Estate among the Ballyowen Road planted with Wildflowers to create a wild meadow effect. This would look amazing from the road. By doing the above also would save SDCC thousands of Euro in grass cutting expenses each month and year.
By not cutting the grass and planting wildflower you also create a better place to live within.
Finally, planting bulbs along each road is needed to lift peoples spirits. Additionally, a number of the roundabouts (Willsbrook Road and Castleroad along with Griffeen way towards the park) could be planted with Wildflowers again to create a wonderful visual effect all summer long. Can I just say also that a lot of the footpaths in Lucan have vegetation growing outwards causing people to be forced out in to the cycle paths. All streets need maintenance in this regard. If the above can’t be done then I’ll do it and let the vegetation in piles to be collected by SDCC.
Thanks for your help and I will meet with anyone in SDCC to get them a tour of the areas I’ve in mind to help improve. “
"That this Committee requests that the Chief Executive consider the following proposal:
That SDCC Parks Department in agreement with the Management committee of Ballyfermot Sports Complex Gurteen Road Ballyfermot Dublin 10 put in at the Councils cost a pedestrian gate from Gleanaulin Park Palmerstown Dublin 20 into the grounds of Ballyfermot Sports Complex this would facilitate safe pedestrian traffic, allow people use bathrooms, car-parking etc. The Sports Complex was built by Dublin Corporation in 1985 & the lease with the park lands known as the Gaels where transferred to the then Dublin Co Council in the early 1990`s."
"To ask the Chief Executive to bring out the existing steel fencing between 19 & 24 Drumcairn Parade for the purpose of residents having designated parking spaces. This has been carried out already on other properties on the road and has had a positive impact and deterred joyriders from using these spaces?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to install Iron Bollards on the footpath in front of the recently erected fence on Drumcairn Parade that has been vandalised by joy riders on numerous occasions?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed update on the development and funding of the planned new all-weather facility at Airlie Heights?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on previous requests for installation ´no littering´ and ´no dumping´ signage at Lucan Road, opposite St. Josephs College in the vicinity of the bus stop and steps down to Sarsfield Park. (Note: previous membereps 1260471 & 1272883 refer)."
"To ask the Chief Executive, further to the motion agreed at the April meeting, to provide an update on the request for an examination of complaints of excessive noise levels affecting homes at Foxborough Park, Drive, Avenue and Downes, which back onto or adjoin the R136 Grangecastle Road, between the junction with Griffeen Avenue/Balgaddy Road and Glenvale/Abbeywood estates?"
To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed update on the timeframe for the planning process for the proposed development of the Adamstown SDZ to Celbridge Road link?
"To ask the Chief Executive, further to very effective works carried out in the Spring, to ensure the continued pruning and removal of undergrowth and shrubbery at Willsbrook Park during Winter 2017/Spring 2018 with a view to further improving visibility and public safety for park users, particularly close to junctions and secluded corners?"
"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to expedite the pruning of trees blocking public lighting at Chalet Gardens (as proposed by the Public Lighting section at the September 2016 ACM) and at Beech Park."
