QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"To ask the Chief Executive to inform this Area Committee if any Part 8 exists on the open space between Tree Park Road and the Greenhills Road and Castletymon Road Junction, which is a direct pedestrian route to Tymon Park, Castletymon Road and local schools. Would he also indicate why this Part 8, if any, should impede the provision of a pedestrian footpath on this open space?"  

REPLY:

The Part 8 for the 'Greenhills Road Realignment' at Parkview was approved in 2006. The proposed realigned Greenhills Road will run between Parkview and the adjacent Treepark Road. The Part 8 includes the construction of an extension to Tymon North Road to link with the proposed realigned Greenhills Road by means of a T junction.

The proposed cross-section of all proposed new roads in this area include for the construction of cycle tracks and footpaths on both sides. The Part 8 also provides for the construction of a new pedestrain crossing on the proposed realigned Greenhills Road near the Cuckoo's Nest Public House linking the footpaths on both sides.

The Part 8 therefore does not impede the provision of pedestrian footpaths in the area."
