QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor Brendan Ferron

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange inspection of the pathway leading from The Park Millbrook Lawns to the Seskinview Road.  Residents have complained that the pathway which leads from the bottom of Park through to the Seskin View Road has become overgrown and during the winter months is totally impassable due to flooding (Many people use this to access the 77A bus and also parents with prams going to and from the shops). I attended a meeting at the site with residents and this is clearly the case. They have also complained that the walls surrounding the grass area have become dangerous as there are holes in them and they could come down on a child if they climbed up on them. Can you arrange to have this area inspected and let me local residents know what works will be completed to improve the pathway and make the walls safe?"

REPLY:

The footpath which traverses the open space at the Park, Millbrook Lawns has recently been inspected and was found to be in a poor condition with significant grass encroachment making it very narrow together with an uneven surface. Sections of the stone walls surrounding the open space are also in need of some repair work. Arrangements will therefore be made to carry out the necessary improvement and repair works at this location, and it is expected that the work will be carried out at this location in advance of the winter months.
