QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask Chief Executive to examine the flooded area marked on the attached photo as it’s subjected to ongoing flooding (see photos attached) This has been reported to me by a number of Park users. 

REPLY:

The location where the water is gathering is slightly lower than the surrounding grassed area and the ponding of water is most noticeable during periods of heavy rainfall. To resolve the issue, two channels have been cut in the adjacent grass area to direct the water away. The works should provide immediate relief. It is possible that the channels may clog up and a more permanent solution will be required. The area will be kept under review during the winter months and if additional works are required these will be arranged.
