COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 26, 2016

MOTION NO.16

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That following the unfortunate recent vandalism at the Hermitage park play-space can the Chief Executive confirm if management has made contact with residents from the surrounding areas to discuss that the play-space is still the preferred option for the residents within the area."

REPORT:

"The Five Year Play Space programme was agreed by the Elected Members in 2013.  To date the Council has constructed 12 new play spaces and the feedback has been mostly positive, including for the facility at Hermitage Park. This unfortunate incident damaged a small area of the play space and should be regarded as an isolated incident rather than part of a pattern of anti-social behaviour. Some residents did contact the Council following this incident but were positive about the facility and they also regarded it as an isolated one."
