MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

To ask the Manager, as a short term objective could the Clondalkin Tidy Towns group have access to the land around the Round Tower in Clondalkin and be assisted by Council staff in cleaning up that area.  In the longer term, could a plan be devised for a monastic garden at this location, which could be accessible during the day but visible through traditional style wrought iron gates at all times?

REPLY:

The Council has welcomed the formation of the new Clondalkin Village group and its commitment to the advancement of all areas relating to the improvement of the village.  The County Architect has met with the group and committed to ongoing meetings to develop strategies and approaches to these issues.  This work will be carried out as a consultation and shared process and a variety of proposals and projects will arise through the process.  It is recommended that decisions on designations, branding and overall approaches be followed through and agreed with the group over the coming months, and an integrated plan (such as the Tidy Towns 3-Year Framework Plan for instance) be developed.
