MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 14, 2016

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"That this committee asks the Chief Executive to divert some of the recently allocated funding for Orwell Roundabout into upgrading Templeville Roundabout which is in a very bad state of repair."

REPORT:

"The allocation of €50,000 in the 2016 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for the upgrading of the Orwell Roundabout will be required in full to complete the scheme which is proposed for that location and therefore it is not possible to divert any monies from that allocation.  Some maintenance work has been carried out to the Templeville Roundabout, with grass having been cut and weeds sprayed in recent weeks.  It is proposed to continue with a programme of maintenance at this location for the current year, the weeds will be removed as soon as the spraying is effective and grass cutting will continue as required.  A scheme of improvement works at Templeville will be costed and proposed for inclusion in the 2017 Improvement Works Programme, this scheme will be intended to further reduce the level of maintenance required at this location through the introduction of more hard landscaping."
