"This area committee would like a report on the Playspace at Haydens Park.  Residents in the estate feel very let down by the council on the way the area has been looked after since it was finished. Grass has not been cut around the playspace and it is starting to look in a very bad way. The residents were told before this play space was finished that the area would be looked after."

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Gogarty
Responsibility:
David Fennell

"That the Chief Executive urgently sets in place a process to close off all access from the old Lucan Newlands Road wasteland on the historic esker between Castle Riada and Moy Glas, given that a proposed accessibility study access cycle corridor did not go ahead and is unlikely to be revived in the near future; given the ongoing antisocial behaviour and break-ins being experienced by residents in both estates all along this route; and in particular to immediately close up with a brick wall or fence the gap between Castle Riada Drive and Moy Glas lawn (which the Council made wider recently despite efforts by residents to close it off), as this flies in the face of the agreed closure of the fence onto the ORR at this location following a request by Moy Glas residents Association and is dearly wanted by residents living in Castle Riada Drive who have reported thieves using the gap to escape following break-ins."
