MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor C. Keane

"To ask the Manager for an update on the taking in charge of the open space in Stonepark/Longwood?"

REPLY:

The open space known as the “compound site” has been the subject of discussion with the developer and his solicitor over the past year with the objective of having it taken in charge by the Council.

Since the documentation has now been submitted and the area forms part of an important entrance into the two estates the Council has commenced maintenance of it and it is included in the regular maintenance programme for the area.

The solicitor for the developer has submitted documentation that will allow for the open space to be formally taken in charge by the Council subject to the usual examination of the documentation by the Council’s Law Department.  This process is ongoing.
