MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive moves to sort out issues caused by the demolition of the wall between Hermitage Green and Ballyowen View, as well as the need to prune/thin out the related heavy tree cover in the vicinity.

Motion not reached in Jan Meeting

REPORT:

The removal of the wall between Hermitage Green and Ballyowen View was carried out in 2016 upon receipt of a report from the Councils Dangerous Places Section that it was defective and a recommendation that it should be removed. The Public Realm Section has not received any further correspondence on the matter since the removal of the wall is unaware of any issues caused by its removal.

The trees at this location are in good condition, they offer a visual barrier to the road whilst affording a view into the park. The trees will continue to be monitored and maintenance scheduled when required.
