MOTION NO.  5

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"This committee commends the work done so far to support the Friends of the Camac and others who seek to improve and promote the Camac River. 

Could the committee be updated on what is happening in relation to the new signage which will inform the public about various aspects of the River.

Also, could a brief update be given on the possibility of the permeability plan which was devised some years ago by the council, running along the camac from the village to the Canal path at Woodford becoming a reality."

REPORT:

“SDCC has received some funding from the outdoor recreational infrastructure grant for signage along the Camac. This project has been tendered with input from Clondalkin Tidy Towns and Friends of the Camac. The  tender has been returned and is currently being assessed.

In relation to the proposed permeability project from the Grand Canal; this proposal is being progressed by Roads Forward Planning Section as the Sustainable Transport Measures Grant from the National Transport Authority was identified as a potential source of funding. Roads Forward Planning were contacted by Public Realm and they have told us that the proposal has been put to the National Transport Authority at a recent meeting and the initial response was positive. No funding has been granted as yet however.”
