That this Area Committee noting multiple prior invitations to the HSE to attend a meeting of this council to discuss local health services expresses concern that no such engagement has yet occurred. This is particularly urgent in light of recent developments including the closure of the dental service in Lucan Health Centre due to the inability to recruit a replacement dentist reports that public health nurses are not visiting new mothers and babies and confusion around how families are being advised to seek support. Given the growing population of the Lucan area and increasing pressure on services this motion requests that the Chief Executive on behalf of this council takes further and stronger steps to secure the attendance of the HSE at a future Area Committee Meeting to discuss these and other pressing health service concerns.
To ask the Chief Executive if electric vehicle (EV) parking spaces have been included in the new Lucan Leisure Centre car park; and if not, to explain why they were not provided as part of the development.
That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine the feasibility of supporting the installation of additional street furniture in the old bus stop lay-by outside Ryan's café area to complement the existing seating in the village. This underused space presents an opportunity to enhance the public realm encourage community interaction and build on recent improvements to make Lucan more welcoming. Any proposals should involve engagement with local stakeholders to ensure the street furniture aligns with the character of the village.
That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to arrange for the trimming of hedges and the removal of low-hanging branches along Newcastle Road adjacent to the Teen Space. It was previously intended that the hedging be managed in a way that allows for clear visibility into the Teen Space from the road thereby enhancing passive surveillance and safety. A design approach that maintains structure while also providing visibility such as a block-style hedge or one with varied height may be considered.
That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to consider the installation of a water tap within the Griffeen Dog Park as an addition to the works already carried out in the park. While there is a river nearby it is not always safe or suitable for dogs to drink from particularly during warmer months or after heavy rainfall. The provision of a water tap would offer a reliable and convenient source of drinking water for dogs and would greatly assist dog owners who bring bowls or bottles to the park. This request has been raised by a number of regular park users and would represent a simple yet valuable enhancement to the existing amenities.
Following on from the recently launched re-branding of South Dublin County Council, which I think is very refreshing, professional and will help bring the Council to the next level. I would like to ask the Chief Executive how much did the re-branding exercise cost?
