Following the recent submission to the County Development Plan on behalf of the Templeogue Tidy Town Committee in relation to the Austin Clarke Park& Bridge proposal, this committee calls on the manager to conduct a feasibility study on the project so that the work can commence as soon as possible.

 

REPORT:

Approximately 200 submissions were made to the pre-draft consultation stage of the new Development Plan 2022-2028 which ended on 28^th September. Amongst these was a submission from Templeogue Tidy Town Committee on Austin Clarke bridge and park proposal. All submissions will be summarised and will inform the CE Report which will be submitted to the members by 19^th November 2020. This stage of the process is to inform the strategic direction of the Plan and the CE Report will be considered at a special Council meeting in early February 2021. The CE Draft Plan will follow on from any strategic direction that the Members may issue and more detailed objectives can be raised at that time. The CE Draft will be submitted to the Members in April 2021 for their consideration before being published for further public consultation in July.

Separately it is understood that this matter has been raised with Directors outside of the Development Plan process.
