MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly, Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to undertake remediation works in Ballyowen Park to prevent flooding in parts of the park and improve drainage

REPORT:

January rainfall was 95.8 mm measured at Casement. It is the wettest January in the past four years and well above the monthly mean for winter months. This has led to saturated soils and given rise to water gathering on a section of path within Ballymount Park which is at a base of a gentle slope. To address the issue, it is proposed to install a localised drain to allow the water to move away from the area and prevent ponding. The works will be undertaken in Q1.
