COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 26, 2018

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

"Can an undertaking be given by the Council as to when the bollards and boulders be installed at the Carraigmore  Playground Carpark. This Playground is open 3 years and yet the carpark is locked and only opened for service vehicles. Why were these safety measures not introduced before the Playground was open. We now have a situation where parents are being clamped when inside the playground with their children. There is no opening or closing time displayed to inform users of the carpark which needs to be addressed. I have informed a parent who was clamped to appeal the clamping fine?"

REPLY:

"The Council will examine the carpark at Carrigmore Playground to determine what can be done to allow access to the carpark by park users, if any physical works are required to enable this then they can be included on the 2019 programme of improvement works.  The Council wishes to encourage families to use the playground and the park.  However, it is important to ensure access is not provided for vehicles which may cause damage to the park.

The carpark external to the playground carpark is under the remit of the management agency for the development and this is where the clamping took place."
