QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to present an update in respect of plans for the provision of the proposed Pavilion at Dodder Valley Park, Old Bawn and in reporting will he also detail any contact he has had with Old Bawn Residents Association, Parkwood Residents Association and other interests regarding concerns expressed in respect of the project?"

REPLY:

There was extensive pre and post Part 8 Public Consultation with Old Bawn Park residents in respect of the proposed Dodder Valley Old Bawn pavilion project.

A public meeting on the proposal was held in Tallaght Library in November 2015 and further meetings were held with representatives of the Old Bawn Residents Association in February 2016.

The Part 8 proposal for the provision of three new pavilions in Old Bawn Park, Dodder Valley, Griffeen Valley Park and Corkagh Park was approved by the Council at the Couccil Meeting in February 2016.

Since then, a site meeting was held with representatives of both the Old Bawn and Parkwood residents associations in relation to the proposed landscape treatment and the treatment of the boundary of the existing ESB sub station.

The finalisation of the tender documents is proceeding and it is expected that the tender will be advertised shortly.

It is intended to continue this dialogue during the various phases of the programme.
