QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive to issue a report to explain why it has taken so long for 'repairs' into the Clondalkin Boardwalk.  Bearing in mind this issue was highlighted by the Tidy Towns National adjudicator in June and communicated separately by Clondalkin Tidy Towns to SDCC. What is the delay and when will work be finished? What has been the costs involved in the Boardwalk and its repairs?" 

REPLY:

The boardwalk was designed and constructed to be in sympathy with its location among trees and adjoining the river. While attractive the timber chosen has weathered over time and has required repairs on a number of occasions. In this light, it has been decided to review the decking material and its support structure. This review in nearing completion and more extensive repairs and replacement will be carried out in the near future. This should resolve the difficulties experienced to date.
