This committee brings to your attention recent developments concerning the modular homes planned for Back Weston. It has come to our knowledge that there have been changes to the original plans that were initially made public. In light of this new information, the committee is formally requesting the arrangement of a meeting between representatives from the Department Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY), the Office of Public Works (OPW), local councillors, and our committee. We ask CE for assistance in coordinating this gathering, which aims to provide an update on the alterations made to the original plans and to gain insight into the department's intentions for future housing and planning in the Back Weston area. Considering that the last briefing held for councillors was back in June 2023, we believe a further brief is necessary to ensure all stakeholders are well-informed about the changes made and any possible future plans. Open communication and collaboration are essential for the success of any housing project. This meeting will provide a platform for comprehensive understanding and constructive discussion and an opportunity to address any concerns or queries from our committee and local councillors Additionally, we propose sending formal letters to all concerned parties to ensure their participation and to convey the importance of their input in this matter.

That the Chief Executive reviews the parking system and availability in Palmerstown village in the light of massive new housing construction without sufficient parking spaces being provided, as well as two new cafés, in order to facilitate visitor parking but also to protect parking designated for residents in areas such as Woodfarm Cottages and Red Cow Cottages from being blocked by commercial vehicles and especially Go Cars being parked carelessly (despite evidence of multiple fines being issued); and if a statement can be made on the matter.
This committee seeks from the CE confirmation on the return of the 3D printer to Lucan Library. I have received numerous positive reports about the printer, and there is a growing interest from the community, with enquiries about its return from those who missed the opportunity during its previous visit. In light of the positive feedback and the evident interest from the community, the committee is keen to explore the possibility of making the 3D printer a more permanent fixture in our libraries. We understand that such a decision involves careful consideration, and we would appreciate your insights on what steps would be necessary to establish a more permanent presence for the 3D printer in our library facilities.
This committee wishes to bring to your attention the concerning lack of response to representations made directly to the NTA (National Transport Authority) concerning broken bus shelter lights. I, as a local councillor, have recently raised two instances of broken bus shelter lights and submitted the relevant details simultaneously. However, regrettably, only one of the reported issues has been addressed. This has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the current process for ensuring timely repairs. In light of this, we kindly request the CE intervention to highlight this matter with the NTA and explore opportunities for streamlining the process to ensure that broken lights are addressed promptly. We believe that a more efficient system could significantly enhance the maintenance and functionality of public amenities such as bus shelters. Additionally, we propose conducting an audit on new bus stop locations to assess the need for bus shelters in these areas. This proactive approach would help identify potential locations where the installation of bus shelters is warranted, ensuring the comfort and safety of commuters.

This committee seeks a comprehensive report from the Chief Executive regarding allotments within the LEA. Specifically, we request a list of existing allotments and identification of areas currently without allotments. In tandem with this request, we also seek insight into any strategic plans that management may have for implementing new allotments within the identified areas lacking such facilities. We recognise that some areas may face constraints related to the availability of open space. Therefore, we would appreciate confirmation as to whether alternative options, such as utilising rooftops in high-density areas, are being considered as part of the overall strategy.
That this Area Committee asks that the manager outlines what this pole is. Is planning permission required. And how many have been erected in this LEA? correspondance from sdcc noted below . Image attached also for your convenience.
I believe a staff member previously replied to the below but in case it was missed, I believe it's a telecommunications pole and is not related to SDCC traffic.
