MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager to provide a detailed update on the taking-in-charge of Hansted Estate, including any outstanding matters relating to the completion of boundary walls?

REPLY: 

An inspection of works was completed earlier this year identifying the main issues as the completion of the boundary wall, replacement of a traffic control ramp and minor works to repair footpaths and kerbing. However the completion of the walls are premature as the boundary walls are adjacent to a construction site for another development. "As constructed drawings" submitted and being checked. A claim was placed on the bond on 26/05/2011 for the outstanding works. The bondholder has extended the bond until the end of July to enter discussions on the completion of the works.
