MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

"This Committee requests that the entrance into Homelawns is upgraded and improved.

The granite name rock is not enhanced by the low concrete stub wall which closes off this area at the bottom of the Homelawn Road and the Seskin View Road. 

This Committee suggests that a limestone wall be used here where the stub wall currently is. This new boundary treatment will align with the park entrance and uses native, natural materials helping to create a visually upgraded entrance to this residential area. The estate is over 40 years old and an upgrade is overdue at this stage."

REPORT:

"The area in question at the entrance to Homelawn estate was examined.  The stone wall boundary treatment on the opposite side of the road signals the entrance to a park area.  The stub wall at the corner of Homelawn Road and the Seskin View Road was placed there to prevent vehicular access to the area.

There are a number of enhancement options which would upgrade this area including the planting of trees, flowering shrubs and the realignment of the namestone which should be considered.  It is proposed to discuss the options with local residents to determine the best and most suitable option."
