QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for the removal of the stones and gravel from the "Anchor" in the middle of the Road in the vicinity of 446 Cushlawn Park and Cushlawn Place as the stones are constantly thrown about the place making the place unsightly and causing damage to property, That the manager further arranges to plant the "Anchor" with earth and grass?"

REPLY:

The so-called 'Anchor' feature in the vicinity of 446 Cushlawn Park has been inspected. This feature consists of a raised ornamental concrete kerb surrounding an area of compacted fine-grade gravel. The raising of this area with soil and grassing over may be the most appropriate course of action to deal with the problems identified by local residents but would have future maintenance implications for the County Council. The treatment of the area will therefore, be further discussed with the Housing Architects Dept. to see if a suitable solution can be found for all concerned.
