COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the Manager create a forest footpath at the rear of Stocking Well to allow parents and children to access the football pitches and Park at Knocklyon Park. There is no play area for children at Stocking Well and it will be many years before the new proposed Park adjacent Stocking Well will be built."

REPORT:

The open space in Stocking Well has not been landscaped by the developer to date nor has a plan for doing so been agreed with the Council.  It is understood that the developer is in financial difficulties and it may be some time before work resumes on the site.  It is not possible for South Dublin County Council to provide the access suggested: however, ultimately this area will be connected to Knocklyon Park to form a larger open space that will facilitate the residents of Stocking Well.
