QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

"To ask the Chief Executive to ensure that the palisade fencing is replaced with a stronger gauge to prevent access from the Jobstown Playspace to the Jobstown Community Centre where a number of youths are trespassing and causing vandalism as well as intimidating people who are using the centre.  The old folks are also experiencing a lot of unwelcome attention from these youths."

REPLY:

"A tender process is currently under way to procure the supply and erection of fencing to replace the existing fence between Jobstown Community Centre and Jobstown Playground.  It is proposed to replace the existing fence with a new fence which is much strengthened and improved.  While the tender process will be completed prior to Christmas it will not however be possible to have the new fence in place until the new year."
