QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to confirm actions planned to deal with the issues raised by St Mark's GAA Club Cookstown Road, at the September 2019 Deputations meeting and will he give details?"

REPLY:

"A deputations meeting took place with representatives of St Mark's GAA club on September 25th.  The following items were on the meeting agenda -

  1. Broken bottles on Pitch at McGee Park.
  2. Dog Fouling.
  3. Completion of Drainage Works at McGee Park.
  4. Proposed pathway across McGee Park from Fettercairn to swing gateway entrance beside St. Marks GAA Clubhouse.
  5. Commitments given at Deputation meeting.

 Commitments given to the club were as follows -

  1. The Council will be erecting a 1.2m high fence on top of the existing stub wall along the boundary of the park on Cookstown Road.  It is expected that this will help to resolve the problem where it occurs close to the apartment complex.  The district supervisor agreed to a meeting on site with representatives of the club to examine the problem.
  2. The club requested the presence of a dog warden and litter warden in the area to examine the issues of dog licences and dog fouling in the area.  They also requested that the Council consider the development of an off-leash dog run area in Butler McGee.  It was agreed that these requests would be examined and considered.
  3. Top dressing of the pitch was carried out recently and drainage works are now completed.
  4. The Council has no plans at present to construct a pathway from Drumcairn to Cookstown road."
