SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 22, 2020

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

'This Area Committee calls of the Chief Executive to reinstall the boundary fence around the green space located at the entrance off Kiltipper Road in Deerpark & Elderheath.'

REPORT:

A post, rail and chainlink fence which had been erected by the developer around the open space at Deerpark Place was removed by the Council's Public Realm Section in 2019.  This fence had become a hazard because of it's state of disrepair and it was removed by the Council following complaints about it and requests to have it removed.  The Public Realm Section has no immediate plans to replace it and there is no scope to add it to the 2020 improvement works programme.  Open spaces such as this one are not generally fenced off, to do so can interfere with the public use and enjoyment of the open space and makes it more difficult to maintain the boundary area between open space and footpath or road.
