MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That the Manager installs proper fencing at the two green areas in Palmerstown Woods

REPORT:

Open Space 1:  This open space adjoins the rear boundary walls of houses in Moorfield estate.  The boundary is in good condition and there is no requirement to install a fence at this location. 

Open Space 2: This open space shares a common boundary with the open space in Collinstown Grove.  A fence which separates the two areas is in good order and does not require upgrading.  The block wall below this fence was recently vandalised.  This will be repaired as soon as it can be included in the programme of works for the area. 

Open Space 3: This open space is centrally located in Palmerstown Woods.  The boundaries to the open space are comprised of side boundary wall of adjacent houses.  There is no requirement to install a fence at this location. 

Open Space 4 This open space is adjacent to Cloverhill Road.  The boundary consists of a mature hawthorn hedge which is planted adjacent to a chainlink fence.  The boundary is considered to be in good condition however it has been breached in one location at the cul de sac in the vicinity of house number 88.  The gap allows direct access onto the footpath at Cloverhill Road where a bus stop is located.  It is proposed to close this gap with palisade fence within the next two weeks.

Open Space 5: This open space shares a common boundary with Collinstown Park.  A fence which separates the two areas is in good order and does not require upgrading.

To summarise, the damaged block wall on open space No 2 will be repaired as soon as it can be included in the works programme for the area and the gap in the hedge at open space No 4 will be closed with palisade fence within the next two weeks.
