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.
