To ask the Chief Executive if any progress has been made on deciding on a location for the Clondalkin Intercultural Centre which will be moving when the work commences on the Round Tower Heritage Centre?

"That this Area Committee, noting the decision of an Bord Pleanala on the revisions to the Adamstown SDZ planning scheme, calls on the Chief Executive to present a detailed report on the next steps and indicative timeline for delivery, in conjunction with developers and the Education & Training Board, of a new multi-functional Sports & Community Hall which would provide a much needed sports hall for Adamstown Community College as well as providing much-needed indoor space for sports clubs and community group in the Lucan & Adamstown area as called for previous motions passed by this Committee and recommended in the Lucan Community Initiative."
That the Chief Executive present a report on the operation of the school warden scheme in the Clondalkin area. I am aware of one challenging location that is without a warden since September and I believe that there are similar issues elsewhere.
"That this Area Committee:
REAFFIRMS this Council’s commitment, contained in the 2006 Review of the Water Leisure Strategy, to provide a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan;
EXPRESSES it disappointment with the recent decision of an Bord Pleanala to overrule the amendment to Adamstown SDZ planning scheme, made by the elected members of the Council, to require the earlier delivery of a PUBLIC pool in Adamstown or the Greater Lucan Area;
RECOGNISES that the Governments ‘Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme’, which previously provided funding for the development of new public swimming pools in Clondalkin & Tallaght allocated up to €3. 8million of funding for planned new pools (in non-RAPID areas);
ACKNOWLEDGES that, irrespective of whether Government funding is available or not, this Council will have to contribute a substantial investment towards the provision of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan;
Therefore AGREES to the following three actions, each aimed at seeking to progress a different option to secure delivery of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan, i.e. this Area Committee:
- CALLS on the Ministers for Public Expenditure & Sports to provide funding for a new ‘Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme as part of the planned new Public Capital Investment Programme 2016-2020; and further calls on the Ministers to examine the recommendation contained in the 2008 ‘Value for Money and Policy Review Report’ to bundle new pool projects in a public/private joint venture on a national basis so as to deliver value-for-money;
- Noting that the Rolling Capital Programme 2015-2017 provides for income of €10,665,000 from land disposals;
REQUESTS that the Chief Executive would make a formal written commitment to allocate any proceeds from all land disposals cumulatively exceeding €10,665,000, in the period 2015-2017, to be allocated for the provision of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan (with particular reference to any future land disposals in the Clonburris SDZ falling within the Lucan electoral area);
- Further noting the reply to question No. 8 at the January 2015 Council meeting which outlined the legislative basis by which local authorities and/or ‘off-the-book’ companies established by local authorities may borrow for the purposes of seeking to fund major capital projects in the sports and leisure area;
RESOLVES under Standing Order No. 71 to establish a specific ‘Sub-committee on Swimming Pool lending options’ to examine, with the support of officials of this Council, and report within three months on all options by which this Council (or a company under the auspices of the Council) could seek to borrow to fund or part-fund the provision of a commercial-operated Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan; and calls on the Chief Executive to fully support the work of the sub-committee."
That this Committee commends the work that has been done on the roundabouts on the Neilstown Road. Could an outline be given of the plans for them in terms of planting and weeding and maintenance for the coming year.
"That this Council confirms that the proposed modification at the Hillcrest/ Newcastle road junction to be made available to the public and reviewed by the Councillors and any changes will initially only be implemented as a trial basis. If the results of the trial are not favourable that the Council agrees to revert the junction to its original state."
"That this Area Committee, noting the Chief Executives intention to conduct a trial of a mini-roundabout to replace traffic lights at Newcastle Road/ Hillcrest Road junction, requests the Chief Executive to:
-
Confirm that a safe crossing point for school children, school warden and mass-goers will be retained on Newcastle Road;
-
Outline what surveys have/will be conducted before and during the trial to ascertain any beneficial or adverse impact on traffic flow and queue lengths at each of Newcastle Road and Hillcrest Road;
-
Commit to immediately canceling the trial if there is a disproportionate adverse effect on motorists’ ability to exit from Hillcrest estate;
-
Conduct a separate analysis of the operation of traffic lights at the N4 overbridge, in tandem with this trial, to examine if further ‘green time’ gains can be achieved to increase the number of cars that can turn right onto the N4 in each cycle;
-
Install in 2015 a new UTC/SCOOTS system to provide greater coordination of all sets of traffic lights along Newcastle Road, including those at the Tandy’s Lane/Esker Road junction;
-
Review the design of the Supervalu roundabout and examine if Musgraves would be willing to fund works to improve traffic flow at this roundabout;
-
Continue to press for a broader range of transport solutions to address traffic congestion in the Newcastle Road area including the proposal for the introduction of a new 25C bus route, to serve the Adamstown/Newcastle Road (including Finnstown, Westbury, Hillcrest, etc) which would access the N4 at Junction 4 (Adamstown) before travelling straight in the N4 to the City Centre."
“That the Chief Executive present a report for discussion at the Committee detailing the ongoing traffic management problems on Esker Drive related to school drop off and pick up times and outlining options for reducing the level of traffic disruption for residents in the surrounding estates."
