QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager, further to the reply to my question at the March meeting, to provide further details and a likely timeframe for the planned consultation with adjoining residents on the preparation of a strategy for the derelict piece of land adjacent to Droim Na Coille Estate, Lucan including the possible incorporation into adjoining properties or fencing to prevent ingress?

REPLY:

The site at Droim Na Coille Estate, Lucan was examined as part of the Public Realm Initiative.  A report was presented to the member at the Lucan ACM on 22nd March 2011 and approved at the County Council Meeting on 11th April 2011.  A small internal Task Force will be established to explore and develop creative solutions to problem sites and when such solutions are established, they will be costed and prioritised as appropriate.  See extract from the Public Realm Schedule which shows that the Droim Na Coille Estate is included in this proposal.
