MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That a report is presented for discussion on what options have been looked at and what options are open to providing a much needed Playspace for Newcastle."

REPORT:

The following report was presented to the Clondalkin Area Committee meeting on the 20^th April 2016:

“The long term plans for a new park in Newcastle are included in the adopted Newcastle Local Area Plan. Whilst progress on implementing this plan has slowed due in the main to the recent economic downturn there are now signs that the impediments to restarting development in this area are being removed.  This park will accommodate a larger play space area as well as other active recreation facilities.  In terms of providing local play spaces it is intended to shortly examine the current provision of open spaces in the Newcastle area to determine if there are any that may be suitable for this purpose.”

It has not been possible to conduct the analysis of the open spaces in Newcastle to date but it is planned to undertake this before the June ACM meeting and to provide an up to date report on the proposals for play spaces in Newcastle.
