MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor R. McMahon

"That the Council do whatever works are necessary around Old Bawn Bridge in order to make it more visible from the Dodder Linear Park. It is a lovely piece of Architecture and should be show case to be proud of and shown off."

REPORT:

The Public Realm Section will carry out works as requested here both to improve visibility of the river and waterfall from the Old Bawn Road, and to improve visibility of the bridge from within the park.  Some work will also be carried out to improve access to the river bank from within the park.   It should be noted that public safety is a major issue here due to the steep nature of the river bank close to the Old Bawn Road, ensuring that the area remains safe after works are carried out will be major importance.
