MOTION NO.6
MOTION: Councillor M. Devine
That the Manager commit to providing essential Community facilities that include an Astropark and a Playground for the concerned Residents of Brookview Estate.
REPORT:
A floodlit MUGA(Multi Use Games Area) has recently been installed as part of the development of the new park in McUilliam Estate and is available for use by all residents in the area including Brookview Estate. In addition, the County Council is advancing plans to install a children's playground beside the MUGA. It is expected that work on this project will commence in the near future. Both of these facilities will be monitored by CCTV and are located within easy walking distance of Brookview Estate.
The Council has also provided a children's playground as part of the Brookfield Community Centre development as part of the investment in community facilities in this area in recent years. This playground is located within the grounds of the community centre and is also readily accessible from Brookview Estate. The Council has also recently advertised Part 8 proposals for the development of Jobstown Park which include plans for all weather pitch facilities and an athletic track.
Having regard to the existing recreational and play facilities already provided and the planned provision for the area, it is considered that adequate provision has been made to meet the needs of local communities for the time being.
