The committee would like to formally request an update from the CE regarding the long-awaited and much-needed Health Care Centre in the Adamstown area. Could you please provide a detailed report on the current timeline for the opening of the Health Care Centre, along with information on the facility's setup?

I wish to seek confirmation from the CE on a matter that has raised concerns within the community.

This committee brings forth this motion requesting the necessary works to be carried out along the road L1018, locally known as Dodsboro Hill, as follows: Cutting Back Overgrown Hedge: We urge the council to address the overgrown hedge along Dodsboro Hill, as it poses an obstruction and safety concern to pedestrians. Clearing Overgrown Debris on Footpath: The committee requests the removal of overgrown debris on the footpath, as highlighted in a member's report. This evidence underscores the narrowness of the footpath due to the overgrowth. Relocation of a bus stop: Considering changes in the bus network, the relocation of the bus stop to the bottom of Dodsboro Hill has resulted in locals having to walk down this road. Therefore, we propose necessary adjustments to ensure the safety and convenience of pedestrians in light of this change. These proposed works are essential to enhancing the safety and accessibility of Dodsboro Hill for the residents who regularly navigate this route.
The committee is seeking information regarding the ownership and responsibility for the row of trees along Haydens, specifically between the roundabout and the end of the Old Forge estate. For your reference, attached to this motion are photos indicating the location in question. Residents in the area are facing challenges in maintaining the growth around these trees. Over time, a gap has formed, and it has been reported that the trees experienced fire damage some years ago. The attached photos clearly depict the current condition, showing an opening that has resulted in a lack of boundary between the estate and the laneway. In light of these circumstances, the committee kindly requests that the CE provide details to the members regarding the ownership and responsibility for these trees. Understanding this information is crucial for residents and the committee to address the necessary maintenance and restoration effort.
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 requests the arrangement of a meeting between representatives from the Office of Public Works (OPW), local councillors, and our committee. The purpose of this meeting is 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. We believe that open communication and collaboration between all stakeholders are essential for the success of any housing project. Such a meeting would facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the changes made and offer an opportunity to address any concerns or queries that the committee and local councillors may have.
This motion requests an update from CE regarding the motion passed in May 2022 (see attached), which addressed the road markings within the squares of Arthur Griffith Park. As outlined in the motion, the focus is on obtaining information on how management intends to carry out the survey. This survey is crucial for keeping residents informed and ensuring that the road markings, designed to alleviate parking challenges, are placed in the correct locations. Could you please provide details on the proposed survey methodology and the timeline for its implementation? Keeping residents updated on this matter is of paramount importance.
