MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"That the Manager provides a preliminary update on the results of the on-site consultation process for the Griffeen Park Playground refurbishment, including key issues identified by parents and children; outlines a timeframe for a design based on this process, allowing for final consultation; and if a statement can be made on the matter."

REPORT:

The on-site consultation process for the Griffeen Valley Playground refurbishment was considered to be useful and informative. The information has not been fully analysed as yet but it will be factored into the design. In summary, what the public are looking for is essentially a facility comparable to what has been provided in other Councils in the Dublin area at Malahide Castle, Newbridge House and Marlay Park. They are also seeking facilities that are accessible to users with a wide range of abilities. This Council will strive to provide facilities that are comparable to or better than the expectations of the public.

The design process is now taking into account the view of the public and the next stage after will be to tender the project.
