To ask the manager what is the number of dog fouling fines in our community compared for the year 2024 compared to the year 2023. Can I also ask when is the dog fouling initiative that the council spoke about earlier this year in the chamber likely to start?
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the long-awaited opening of the Lucan Swimming Pool and Leisure Centre. In addition I wish to reiterate serious concerns raised by members of the community regarding the proposed pricing structure for the facility. As a publicly-owned amenity funded and delivered by the local authority there is a strong expectation that the pricing should reflect that of a public leisure facility and remain accessible to all residents. However the current pricing model appears significantly higher than comparable public pools and centres in surrounding areas. Can the Chief Executive clarify: 1. What oversight or control the Council has over the pricing structure of this facility? 2. Whether any reassessment of the pricing is being considered to ensure fair and affordable access? While the public welcomes initiatives such as subsidised school programmes it is the base-line pricing for everyday users individuals, families, seniors and regular swimmers that presents a barrier and contradicts the principles of accessibility and inclusion that should under-pin a publicly-owned amenity.
To ask the manager to place a dog bin on the far side of Neilstown park where dog walkers some of which are our more senior members of the community have asked to represent their voice in this request please.
To ask the CEO for an update on the Part 8 sports changing rooms pavilions. The update should include, by Part 8 project, the status, expected delivery timeframe, and the key milestones in bringing each project to delivery.
This committee calls on the CEO to review whether repair works to the footpaths and cobbled areas in Castlegate, Adamstown may be accommodated within the 2024 Roads Programme. Multiple sections of cobblestones are raised or sunken, posing a serious trip hazard, especially for parents with young children and individuals with limited mobility or vision impairment. In addition, the surrounding footpaths are uneven and obstructive, creating ongoing safety and access issues for wheelchair users and visually impaired pedestrians. While these works are currently listed for consideration in the 2026 Roads Programme, the CEO is requested to review the feasibility of advancing some or all of the repairs into the 2024 programme, in light of the documented health and safety risks and the need to ensure safe and inclusive pedestrian infrastructure.
To ask the CEO if the pruning of low overhanging tree branches in the Adamstown area, particularly along Castlegate Way and the route down to Lidl, can be expedited given the health and safety risk posed to pedestrians by branches obstructing the footpaths.
