MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"That the Chief Executive provide an update on the agreed works to the dog run in Tymon Park which has been almost unusable for several months now."

REPORT:

"Some works have been carried out to the dog run at Tymon Park in recent times, a layer of gravel has been spread on the pound area enclosed between the outer and inner gates and the inner gate has been relocated.  Following a wet December and an extremely wet January however the area just inside the inner entrance gate remains extremely wet and soft. 

In order to resolve this matter it is now proposed that a second entrance will be provided into the dog run on high ground which is firm and relatively dry, and it is hoped that this work will be carried out in the current week.  It is also proposed that a drain will be installed around the perimeter of the pound to capture any run-off from higher ground, and also that a run of drainage pipe will be laid through the wet and soft area just inside the existing entrance in order to dry this area out."
