MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

That the Chief Executive provide a report on the construction of both Airlie Park and Tandy's Lane Park to include work done to date in relation to the parks and an expected opening date for both

REPORT:

The Airlie Park Project commenced works in Q3 2020 and it is anticipated that the construction works will be completed at the end of Q4 2021. Currently, the works contractor is progressing earthworks and drainage elements of the project. A decision on the anticipated opening date is considered premature given the works have only recently commenced.

The Tandys Lane Park Project commenced in January 2020 and it is anticipated that construction works will be completed at the end of Q1 2021. Currently, the works contractor is completing the playground installations and undertaking seeding and planting works. The anticipated opening date is dependent on the establishment of the seeding and planting which is currently underway. The establishment period is heavily weather dependant and therefore, it is not possible to state the anticipated opening date at this juncture. The design team, works contractor and SDCC Parks Department will meet towards the end of this year to assess how establishment of seeding and planting has progressed, which will inform the decision on the anticipated opening date.

 This Motion was Moved without Debate
