MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on 53007 dated 3/03/2017.  This is in relation to the old shop on Rossfield Ave requesting that it would be refurbished to accommodate families from the Council housing list?"

REPLY:

"A site meeting has recently taken place between Architects and Housing Department at the old derelict shop on Rossfield Avenue.  Following discussions with Allocations Sections, it was deemed that there is an urgent need for 1 bed units for downsizing / new allocation.  It was agreed that the old shop may be suitable to convert to 4 bed units, which will enable tenants to downsize, thus freeing up larger families homes.  This is also in the interest of good estate management for the Rossfield area.  Discussions are ongoing between both Housing and Architects Department on these works and we will commence works as soon as possible. 

Please note that the Memorial Garden will be taken into account in the plans for this property."
