MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to respond positively to the request from the dog owners group who use Tymon Park, to relocate the Dog-Play-Park from it's current location on the Limekiln side of Tymon Park, which is prone to flooding, to a more suitable site on the Tymon side of the Park, as suggested by the dog owner group."

REPORT:

"The dog run at Tymon Park was inspected in recent days and found to be in use at the time.  The ground is not considered to be prone to flooding, the ground was damp and muddy in places  due to regular use however it is very much suitable for exercising dogs and was in use at the time of inspection.  Two problems were noted during the inspection - (i) the inner entrance gate is in need of repair and (ii) a small amount of water ponding is occurring at the same location.  Action will be taken to address both these matters in the coming weeks. 

It is proposed that the dog run at Limekiln Road will remain where it is and will not be relocated as suggested.  A commitment was given previously to consider the provision of a second run in a different location in Tymon Park.  This matter will be examined and if a suitable site is identified a scheme will be considered for inclusion in the improvement works programme for 2018."
