SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, September 13, 2016
QUESTION NO.6
QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy
"Could the Chief Executive please provide an update on the status of the playground development for Whitechurch Estate?"
REPLY:
"A consultation meeting was held with the Whitechurch community in the Whitechurch Community Centre at 7pm on the 25th February 2014 to discuss the plans for a play space in open spaces within the estate.
Unfortunately, the general consensus was not to proceed with the plans.
However, since that meeting the consultation exercise for the Play Space programme has been developed to be a more inclusive exercise with the local community. This allows for the local community to propose solutions for their own areas and that allows for the location of play spaces that are unique to that community and that take into account the particular issues in the community that may be impeding the development of resources for local children and teenagers. It may be that the Whitechurch location could be revisited in the future as part of the play space programme."
