QUESTION NO.1

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy, Councillor Alan Edge

Can the Council please provide an update on all of the projects which were selected for the Firhouse-Bohernabreena LEA in the €300K Have Your Say project last year? Where are these projects in terms of implementation at present and can time scales be provided where possible please?

 

REPLY:

The Council can give the following updates in regards to the winning projects from the €300K Have Your Say Firhouse-Bohernabreena initiative.

Project  Update 
 Intergenerational Outdoor Activity Spaces in Glenasmole The Council is working with Glenasmole Community in developing the concept plans for the Intergenerational Facility there.
 Nature Trail along the river Dodder The nature trail at Dodder Valley Park is also at planning stage and efforts are being made to ensure that it can be incorporated into the Dodder Greenway project.  This scheme will take place before year end. The funding allocated to this under €300k Have Your Say will only do a limited amount but it is hoped that the nature trail can be extended further under the greenway project.
 Health and Wellbeing Garden in Firhouse Community Centre Internal discussions are being held on how best to progress this project during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Playground Facilities at Ballycragh Park The development of the teen space at Ballycragh is commencing in January 2021; the playspace will proceed after that in February.
 Native Tree Trail in Woodlawn Park The native tree trail at Woodlawn Park is on target for planting this winter.
