MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 21, 2017

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor M. Ward

"This committee supports the "Friends of St Cuthberts" in their desire to hold a Community Fete in St Cuthbert's Park as part of the regeneration of the park and their goal to reclaim the park for the wider community. Futhermore we ask that the Chief Executive to provide a report for discussion that will help them achieve this. The report should include what assistance the Council can provide including financial assistance."

REPORT:

The Community Officer for the area is available to meet the group to provide advice and support, and also advise on funding opportunities.

The Public Realm Section will work with Friends of St Cuthbert’s to ensure that suitable arrangements are in place to accommodate an event as proposed.  To this end, and as with all such events details relating to the proposed date, time, numbers attending, proposed activities, potential vehicles to be used, insurance, traffic management plan (if necessary) etc. will be required to determine the suitability of the location for the proposed event.  

Ideally an on-site meeting should be held with representatives from the organisers and relevant officials to establish if it is possible to proceed. Regrettably however there is no budgetary provision to provide monetary assistance in this area.
