MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 29, 2015

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That this Area Committee:

• - Noting the comments of representatives of the Luttrelstown Group at the June meeting of this Committee to the effect that no proposal for public access to lands at St. Ed’s has been made to them;

• - Further noting the various objectives included in draft Development Plan 2016-2022 relating both provision of ‘Green Routes’ and to seeking access to the Liffey Valley, including lands at St. Ed’s;

• - Calls on the Chief Executive to prepare proposals, to be tabled with the Luttrelstown Group, for the provision of permissive ‘Green Routes’ on lands at St. Ed’s - along the River Liffey, with connections to the Lucan Road – which facilitate continuing agricultural use on the bulk of lands while minimising risks to all; and

• - Examine how such permissive ‘Green Routes’ could form part of a larger ‘Green Route’ network along the River Liffey with a view to preparing proposals, in conjunction with neighbouring local authorities, to seek Green Route funding from the National Transport Authority or from Government Departments or other bodies.

REPORT:

This proposal, arising from the recent presentation to the Lucan Area Committee meeting by the Luttrellstown Group will be discussed between the various Departments of the Council that have a role in such issues and a further report will be presented to the Elected Members in due course.
