MOTION NO. 8
MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson
That this Committee request that the Chief Executive produce a report on the Grand Canal Greenway 12th Lock to Hazelhatch, to include the next steps for this project, and that this Committee agrees to write to the NTA to express our support for this project and request that funding is provided to complete it.
REPORT:
South Dublin County Council has advanced through preliminary design and Part 8 planning approval stage for the delivery of the Grand Canal Greenway, 12th Lock to Hazelhatch, with the Part 8 Approved by the Council in May 2019. Unfortunately in the latest round of funding or Greenways and Cycleways announced by the Department of Tourism, Transport and Sport last week, no allocation was provided for this scheme.
The provision of this 4.6 km stretch of greenway along the Grand Canal from the 12th Lock to Hazelhatch is a project that the Council wish to see advancing and as such the Council will continue to pursue funding and will work with the various agencies and public bodies involved to ensure the delivery of this worthwhile project.
If the motion is passed the NTA will be written to as requested.
