Pearse Brothers Park/Palmer Park Thermal Upgrade Programme Progress Report
Works commenced on the Council's Thermal Upgrade Programme at Pearse Brothers Park and Palmer Park in September 2012. These works include replacement of existing windows and fitting of external insulation to 22 dwellings, internal improvements (where required), improvements to common areas to improve safety, improvement works on footpaths, as well as an increase in parking spaces available. Works are scheduled for completion by mid 2013.
The works are being carried out in 4 blocks, as well as to external common areas. Works in relation to the external common areas, including the provision of extra car parking spaces for the local residents, are at an advanced stage. New footpaths have been constructed and safer access ramps have been installed at the entrance to the dwellings. Most of the new car parking spaces are now available to the residents.
New windows and front doors have been installed in all of the dwellings and the external insulation has been fitted to Block 1 (62 – 67 Pearse Brother Park), Block 2 (71 – 76 Pearse Brothers Park) and Block 3 (80 – 85 Pearse Brothers Park).
Groundworks at the rear of blocks 2 & 3 are complete and are ongoing at the rear of Block 4 (1 -4 Palmer Park). Substantial works to the front of Block 4 have commenced. Works to complete the communal areas in Blocks 1,2 & 3 are to be completed over the next few weeks. Most of the internal work within the 22 dwellings is complete.
The Housing Department continues to maintain contact with both tenants and local residents throughout the construction works.
