QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive to detail the number of questionnaires replied to following recent public consultation concerning improvements to the playground at Griffeen Valley Park and when it is expected a report on the said consultation will be available?"

REPLY:

The consultation on the construction of a new playground in Griffeen Valley Park was carried out over a 2 week period at the beginning of May 2016.  It involved 5 visits to Griffeen Playground on different days and at different times.  During the visits the consultation staff discussed with playground users and guardians their views on a newly renovated playground.  They had an option to fill out a questionnaire or make a verbal submission.  The Council also sent questionnaires to local schools and crèches and accepted completed questionnaires by email.  In total there were over 160 individual responses by questionnaire and many hours of conversation with playground users – this information will be used to inform the plans for the new playground.

A presentation on the process and the next stages accompanies this report.
