QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor M. Devine

"To ask the Manager for an update on the reinstatement works at Bancroft Park?"

REPLY:

Work on the reinstatement of the open space in Bancroft Park following the installation of services by a private contractor commenced two weeks ago.  This work was undertaken by a Landscape Contractor on behalf of the main contractor.  However, as the ground conditions were unsuitable due to the saturated nature of the soil following extensive rainfall, the Council suspended the work on the basis that severe compaction would result from the machinery being used and that would ultimately affect the usefulness of the open space in the future.  The Council is continuing to liaise with the main contractor to have the work completed at a suitable date in the future.
