QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report regarding the opening and closing hours of the Arena Road access gates, both vehicular and pedestrian, at the Castletymon Road side of Tymon Park. This entrance is being used by scramblers and Quad bikes, which are a constant source of noise pollution and damage to the Park and this mainly happens at evening and night time. Could the Chief Executive also indicate who holds responsibility for gate closures at this location?"

REPLY:

"The vehicular access gate to the Basketball Arena  is opened and closed by the staff of the Arena.  The normal opening times range from 7.30-8.00am and the normal closing times are 9.30-10.00pm. The pedestrian gates remain open.

The Council plans to reduce access from this area to Tymon Park by minimising entry points and erecting a fence along the boundary of the hard core carpark."
