Report of Meeting held on the 17th November 2023
Matters arising
This Committee requests the Council to investigate improvements for users at the Tymon Park Dog Run including: 1) Changes to the entrance to the dog run: On a few occasions in the past few months users have slipped and fallen while trying to enter the area with their pets. Could a section of rubber grass protection matting which can be filled with gravel to provide a safe footing be considered? 2) Need for adequate lighting inward to the dog run. In winter at 4pm it is dark in the run and it is impossible to see any dogs without the use of a torch. Could a simple floodlight on a timer facing into the run by each entrance be considered?

This Committee requests SDCC undertake additional road safety measures at Greenhills Educate Together School as a priority. The road outside the school is part of the Wellington Lane Scheme and the school are also part of Safe Routes to School initiative. This request is based upon the following: It is understood that the proposed date for the works as part of the Wellington Lane Scheme is not until 2025. There are no effective traffic calming measures on the road at the school bar ineffective bus cushions. There is no indication that this is a school zone and no measures in place to slow traffic. It is a long, straight stretch of road. As the permanent works are not going to be completed for a significant amount of time, it is essential that some sort of safety works are completed in the meantime.
