Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor A-M. Dermody
Responsibility:
Neil O'Byrne

"That a report be provided with regard to the status of Willbrook Park laneway, residents believe that their request for the walkway/laneway in Council ownership to be subdivided and taken into their back gardens has been ignored and 'parked' by the Chief Executive. The report ought to include a full summary of planning enforcement complaints, the number of complaints received, action taken and result achieved pertaining to a house that abuts this laneway area with residents believing that the matter was not thoroughly investigated and that their observations and those of elected public representatives were ignored and that the planning investigation fell short of proper governance and due process. Please also comment on the ascertain by some residents that another resident has annexed a portion of this laneway without any license/permission from South Dublin County Council and the Chief Executive has failed to take the appropriate actions to protect Council assets. The remaining portion of laneway is not even being maintained by Public Realm with any regularity, on any works schedule. Can the Chief Executive make a statement on the current position, explain the decisions that were taken heretofore and what plans he has for the area going into the future"
