MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Committee, NOTING both the recent substantial population change and the recent lack of capital investment in Lucan by the Community Services Department; FURTHER NOTING the repeated previous motions and requests submitted with respect to the need for additional community space in Lucan, in particular for indoor sports and recreational activities, REQUESTS the Manager to present a new approach to seeking provision of new indoor community space in Lucan."

REPORT:

If this motion is passed, it will be necessary to carry out research to try and establish precisely what the need for additional indoor community space is in Lucan and its environs. Once that exercise is completed, the next logical step is to assess what existing vacant indoor space is vacant, available and suitable, in the area.

This will allow us to see what the demand is and if the supply of indoor space matches up to the demand from community organisations and clubs.  At this point, we will arrange for the appropriate people to sit down and armed with this information, we can discuss the options available.
