MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to present a report detailing works proposed to improve facilities at Dodder Valley Park, Old Bawn; will he also confirm actions being taken in respect of concerns expressed by Parkwood Residents Association and local residents in Old Bawn regarding issues including the poor condition of the unused graffitied containers which is also leading to anti-social behavior and the poor image of the Park and will he give assurances to the community in the matter?"

REPLY:

"The tender issued in relation to the provision of a pavillion in Old Bawn Park, Dodder Valley resulted in submissions above the available funding. The Council is currently examining ways in which a reduced cost building can be progressed.

The Council has met with the local residents before but it is the intention of the Council to meet with them again in the coming weeks to discuss the project and the concerns they have. It is also the intention of the Council to deal with the unused containers."
