MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Further to my previous motion item 52782 could the Chief Executive provide an update to the agreed plan to provide an improved gate system at the Griffeen Park on Newcastle Road.

Tuesday, March 28, 2017 MOTION NO. 27 - MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"This committee requests the Chief Executive to examine the possibility of installing electric gates at the park entrance of Griffeen Park on Newcastle road. The location is very busy with the increase in the number of various clubs now using the facilities."

REPORT: "The automation of the gates to Griffeen Valley Park at Haydens Lane is included in the 2017 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme. There is no provision in the current programme to automate the Newcastle Road gates. These gates will be listed for consideration for inclusion in the draft 2018 programme however given the varied and irregular use of the car park in the evenings, it might not be possible to automate the gates. This mater will be explored further before a final decision is made."

REPORT:

The commitment under Motion 27 to list the gates for consideration for inclusion in the draft 2018 improvement Works Programme is subject to an assessment having regard to the varied and irregular use of the car park in the evenings. This assessment will take place early in the New Year after which details of the proposed 2018 Improvement Works Programme will be presented to the Lucan ACM in January.
