CATHAOIRLEACHS BUSINESS

SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY JOINT POLICING COMMITTEE REPORT
(circulated herewith)
"That the Manager would investigate and make a report to this Committee on the possibility of using the piece of Council owned land in Lucan, bounded by Beaumont Cottages, Canonbrook and the N4, and near the St Thomas's and St Anne's National Schools, for the location and provision of a Community Facility for the use of community based organizations in Lucan, including Boxing Clubs such as the long established Lucan Boxing Club currently using unsuitable accommodation in Lucan, Esker Amateur Boxing Club and other sports/recreation organizations."
"To ask the Manager if he will request the Parks and Roads Departments to investigate the safety of pedestrians, including pedestrians pushing child buggies, of that part of the old Celbridge Road (the section which is one way towards Lucan), between the entrance to Lucan Golf Club and the old Lucan Road, relating to the narrowness of the footpath, and overhanging branches and foliage, and if he will advise the Committee if the Council could consider widening the footpath, and doing another, more extensive, cut-back of overhanging foliage?"
"That this Area Committee recognises local concerns regarding the effectiveness of litter management services in Lucan Village, including the continued non-use of the mechanical sweeper; and the limitations of the 'one-size-fits-all' model, based on a three-weekly rota, of litter cleansing in other areas of Lucan, including litter-blackspots identified by the Committee; and therefore requests the Manager to implement measures to enhance the quality and capacity of litter management services including:
-
establishment of a dedicated staff team, subject to effective supervision, to provide litter management in Lucan Village and to ensure more frequent cleansing of litter blackspots in the Lucan area;
-
taking whatever measures necessary to ensure the use of the mechanical sweeper in Lucan Village."
CATHAOIRLEACHS BUSINESS
"This Committee requests that the Manager Responsible provide an update on the provision of a children's play area in Waterstown Park. There are an increased number of children in the community and they are most deprived as most of 'Old Palmerstown' i.e. the cell between the N4 and Kennelsfort Road with some 2000 houses, has no open space and geographically they are cut off by the M50 from many of the facilities in the County including play areas, libraries, etc. The provision of the children's play area at Waterstown Park at this time would compliment the outdoor adult gym and increase the footfall in this beautiful park which would in turn be a security bonus thus helping the Council save money over the long period."
Review of the social and affordable housing aspects of Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
