MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"To ask the Chief Executive that the area around the Ballyroan Library be considered for maintenance.
The residents of 48 to 54 Orchardstown Avenue are constantly maintaining the area to the side of the public library by cleaning and planting. Residents are hoping for 3 or 4 large planters at the side of the public library which they are happy to maintain.
Also, at the back and side of the library (Orchardstown Villas & Orchardstown Avenue) small stones have been placed to keep down weeds. There is concrete lip all along the back wall (on Orchardstown Villas) which keeps these stones in place but this lip does not continue around the side (on Orchardstown Ave). As the Orchardstown Ave residents are having constantly to brush the stones back into place, can this lip be extended around the side wall of the library."

REPORT:

"The area to the side and rear of Ballyroan Library has been examined by staff from the Council's Public Realm Section.  The issue highlighted here is considered to be a design issue and has therefore been referred to the County Architect's office for examination. 

With regard to the request for planters, the provision of assistance by the Council to residents/residents groups is arranged through the Council's Social Credits Scheme.  An application should be made under that scheme for the provision of planters as requested here."
