MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 25, 2019

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if his Community staff have had any recent contact with St Mark's Residents Association in respect of matters of concern to the Association regarding the entire Springfield Estate as highlighted during last year's Part 8 process involving the area and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

Community staff have no recent contact from St Mark's Residents Association. The Local Community Officer is available to meet the St Mark's Resident Association to provide advice and discuss the needs of the community.  The Residents Association may also wish to apply to attend a deputation meeting in the Council: https://www.sdcc.ie/en/services/community/deputations/deputation-documents.html to discuss additional issues of relevance.

The recent Part 8 approval for 40 Older Persons' homes in Fernwood/Maplewood also contains plans for a community facility managed by an Approved Housing Body (AHB) and the AHB will engage with the local Residents Association on the use of this facility and the integration of residents of the proposed new homes with the existing community in Springfield."
