MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to commit to upgrading the play space in Jobstown that is not only used by the community but Community Groups and Creches within the local area.  

REPORT:

The existing playground in this area is connected to a Community Centre and is well used by the communites there. Regular inspections are carried out on the playground by public realm staff and maintenance carried out as required. A RoSPA report was recently carried out and the Public Realm team will implement its recommendations shortly.

Once the playspace programme is completed at the end of 2019 it is the intention to progress new playspaces or upgrade old playspaces on a case by case basis (subject to funding and resources being available). As part of the completion of the playspace programme there is a new, large-sized playspace planned for nearby Jobstown Park, close to the Leisure Centre. This will be a large, natural playspace and has recently being tendered. The tender assessment process is underway currently. Subject to succcessful completion of tender processs, construction will be subject to agreement of a programme with the successful tenderer.
