MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor K. Mahon

That the Council look into the provision of a community garden in Tymon Park, similar to that in Weaver Street and Bridgefoot Street in Dublin.

These operate on the basis of community access, with skilled gardeners/ horticulturalists on site a few days a week.

It could be a point of community interaction and education on the environment, food sustainability and seasonal produce.

It could involve local men's shed groups or others willing to ensure a regular degree of usage.

REPORT:

There are currently no proposals to develop a community garden at Tymon Park. Any local groups that may be interested in developing and maintaining a community garden are advised to contact the Community Development Team.

Identifying a suitable location and activities will involve input and assistance from other departments in the Council.
