MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor C. King

Cathaoirleach's Business

That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to investigate intrusions by stolen cars on to the footpaths that traverse Whitestown Stream adjacent to Dromcarra and Bawnlea Estate as it is becoming increasingly dangerous for pedestrians to use this space and creating an additional cost to the Council on the cleanup so after the cars are burnt out on the paths and the open spaces in the area. That this Committee further calls on the Chief Executive to provide a permanent solution to stopping access to this area by vehicles. 

REPORT:

The Public Realm Section will undertake a detail inspection at Dromcarra and Bawnlea in order to establish what measures are required in order to stop stolen cars gaining access to this footpath along Whitestown stream.

The options are likely to include the installation of bollards, railings and barriers or a combination of all three.

There is no budget provision in 2016 budget.   Therefore a costing for completing the such works is required in advance of any decision to progress works.
