MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install a footpath from the last gate on Drumcairn Parade to St Marks GAA club for the purpose of providing a path way for the high footfall that walks to St Mark's Community School, the Bus Stop & the Club"

REPORT:

The Council's Public Realm Section has examined this proposal previously and it was considered not possible to provide a footpath as requested, as the route suggested was a direct route from Drumairn Parade to Cookstown Road near St Mark's GAA complex.  This obviously would be in conflict with the playing pitches and it was therefore ruled out.  The proposal will be examined to determine if a route can be found which will avoid the pitches, following a line close to the boundaries with the Glennane Sports Club and St Mark's GAA complex.  If an acceptable route can be found then the proposal will be considered for inclusion in the public realm improvement works programme for 2022.
