MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 12, 2017

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive include the upgrade of the site known as Dolly's Field within the Moyville Estate in the next Public Realm upgrade Works Budget."

REPORT:

"A meeting took place earlier in the year between Moyville Residents and the Council's Public Realm Section at which this matter was discussed.  A number of items were requested by the residents which can be included in the maintenance programme for 2018, such as the cutting back of hedgerows for example.  The larger items suggested by the residents such as the development of a perimeter path in the field as well as the installation of outdoor exercise equipment would involve substantial expenditure and this should be the subject of a detailed design or plan for the area in question.  The need for such a design has been raised with the staff responsible for the planning and design of capital projects within the Public Realm Section. 

The matter of the perimeter footpath will be considered further in the context of the public realm improvement works programme for 2018 as it may be possible to develop this as a stand-alone item of work that can be included in that programme.  It is proposed that the installation of the perimeter path will be costed and proposed for inclusion in the 2018 programme of works which will be presented to the area committee early in the new year.  This will then go to the full Council meeting in March for approval by the elected members."
