QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

To ask the Chief Executive what can be done to improve the footpaths on both sides of the New Nangor Road from the Ninth Lock junction towards Parkwest?  Work has begun on cutting back shrubbery adjacent to the M50 overpass.  However, this needs to be continued in the direction of Parkwest. Also, the section of footpath between the Ninth Lock and the overpass on the Canal side of the road needs attention as there are bushes encroaching on the footpath.  Could a plan be formulated to improve this footpath as it is very well used by leisure walkers and those walking to work. 

REPLY:

Pruning work on both sides of the New Nangor Road at the M50 overpass and towards Parkwest have been completed. The shrubbery on the section of footpath between the Ninth Lock and the overpass on the Canal side of the road consists primarily of ornamental Cornus and Ivy. This area has been listed for pruning and works are expected to be completed before the end of March.
