MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 10, 2015

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on all ongoing works in Tymon Park, and in the smaller parks in the Templeogue-Terenure electoral area, and for planned works for the remainder of 2015, and into the future?"

REPLY:

The public realm section will continue to carry out normal maintenance works such as cleaning, grass cutting and hedge cutting in Tymon Park and all other parks in the County for the remainder of the 2015 year.  The Council's drainage section plans to carry out cleaning works on a section of the Poddle river between the weir and the bridge at Osprey in Tymon Park and these works are planned to take place in 2015.  The works to construct a new entrance and short length of new pathway in Ballycragh Park are substantially completed however the pathway remains to be surfaced as yet.  This work will be completed in the coming weeks and the new entrance will then be opened to public use.  

A number of items are likely to be proposed for inclusion in the 2016 improvement works programme which will be presented to the meeting of the County Council in December.  These schemes are the proposed automation of the main entrance gates to Tymon Park, as well as a proposal to raise the bridge on the Poddle river in Tymon Park at Osprey Estate.  In addition to this funding has been provided in the Capital Works Programme 2016 to 2018 for the proposed playground for Tymon Park.
