Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor A-M. Dermody
Responsibility:
Michael Hannon

"That the Chief Executive update this meeting as to the progress to date with regard to the playspace initiative for the Ward. It is fair to say that the initiative across the County and most notably within the Rathfarnham Ward has not been well received by residents. Two suggested locations that from my instructions would welcome a playspace might be around Stocking Avenue and indeed this suggestion has been made by me and accepted by the Manager at earlier RAC meetings, a second suggestion would be in Glendoher Park, there is unlikely to be the same level of opposition from residents as Glendoher Park is sufficiently away from individual houses as not to draw concerns that the space might be a magnet for anti-social gatherings."
