HEADED ITEM NO. 7

 

Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2017

 

"Provision has been made by the Chief Executive in the 2017 budget for the carrying out of small improvement works in parks and open space areas around the County such as the surfacing of paths, boundary works, pitch drainage, roundabout improvements and other works.  Those works proposed to take place in the Clondalkin area in 2017 are listed below.  These proposals have been compiled from issues raised as agenda items at area committee meetings throughout the course of the year, undertakings given in response to members representations throughout the year as well as works that have been identified by staff.  It should be noted that the list provided does not include those works which have already been included in the Council's three year rolling capital works programme, it includes only those works of a small scale which are to be funded from the revenue budget.  

There are two schemes included from the 2016 programme that did not proceed last year. The final drawings for the new steps at Dispensary Lane are expected to be completed in February which will enable this project to proceed. The Car Park extension at Hermitage Park was to be completed in two phases but given the delays in commencing this project it is now proposed to carry out the full extension in 2017. The budget allocated for this scheme has therefore been increased to reflect this.
