QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Edge

To ask for the timeframe on the opening up of the car parking area in Kiltipper Park (Kiltipper Rd end).

 

REPLY:

The car park is a vegetated, permeable surface and an establishment period is required for the vegetation  to establish and allow it to be as robust as possible to withstand vehicular traffic. It was not considered to be favourable with regard to vegetation establishment to open the car park over the winter period. In addition automatic gates are required to be installed prior to the opening of the car park. These gates are on order and are due to be installed early in 2021. The recent government announcement regarding construction closures due to Covid 19 will have an impact on these works and a date for installation is awaited.
