QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor C. McCann

"To ask the Chief Executive with regard to the damaged fencing around Butler/McGee Park, when will repair works be carried out?"

REPLY:

"As reported previously, the contractor who was engaged to install the fencing at Butler McGee Park has been requested on numerous occasions to carry out repairs to the fencing, however, he has failed to do so.  Due to the extent of the repairs needed and the expected cost it has been necessary to tender to select an alternative fencing contractor to do this work.  The tendering process has been completed and an order is now ready to be placed for this work.  It is expected that the repairs will be completed before the end of the current year. A tender has also been run for the completion of fencing around the park, from Drumcairn Avenue to the Outer Ring Road, and it is expected that this work will commence early in the new year.  It should be noted that the designs both for fencing repairs and for the additional fencing have now been modified so as to strengthen the fence and it is hoped make it much more resistant to vandalism."
