QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"To ask the Chief Executive to make a report regarding the replacement of the railings at the Council owned land between Glennane Hockey Club all weather pitch, at St Marks Community School, and the Cookstown Road. This piece of land is overgrown and littered and the railings are no longer fit for purpose and need replacement to help improve the public realm?"

REPLY:

"Work commenced recently on the strip of land in question which lies along the Cookstown Road.  Most of the outer railing which is at the back of the public footpath has been removed and a clean up and removal of rubbish and overgrowth has now taken place on a portion of this land.  This work commenced at the entrance to the St Marks GAA complex and will continue over to the entrance to St Mark's School.  There is a palisade fence in place at the rear of this strip of land which will be examined on completion of the clean up, however it will be necessary to establish ownership of and responsibility for the palisade fence before any repairs or improvements to it can be undertaken."
