MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor E. Higgins

"To ask the Chief Executive  to include funding for a public park in Newcastle in the Capital Budget 2017." 

REPLY:

The plans for a new public park in Newcastle are included in the adopted Newcastle Local Area Plan. Whilst progress on implementing this plan has slowed due in the main to the recent economic downturn there are now signs that the impediments to restarting development in this area are being removed.  This park will accommodate a larger play space area as well as other active recreation facilities.  In terms of providing local play spaces South Dublin County Council are communicating with the Department of Education and Skills in an attempt to progress that issue.
