MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm plans for the further improvement of facilities at Butler/McGee Park as provisionally raised and in reporting will he say when he plans to meet local stakeholders as previously agreed and will he make a statement."

REPLY:

The fencing around Butler McGee Park was completed in 2020 with the installation of the 500m section of new fence along Cookstown Road.  Approximately 1,000m of fencing had already been installed at Drumcairn Avenue and Parade.  In addition to this the footpaths throughout the park were overlaid in their entirety at the end of 2019.  While there are no plans at the present time for further works in the park the Council's Public Realm Section is happy to meet with local stakeholders to discuss any issues they want to raise or projects they might wish to discuss.  Unfortunately it has not been possible to hold such a meeting to date, nor will it be possible to do so during the current Covid 19 restrictions.  Contact will be made with local groups however to explore the possibility of holding a remote meeting with stakeholders to discuss current issues.
