MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"Can the Chief Executive please update on the provision of a Community facility for City West and the basis on which it is progressing? If the current initiative is reliant on agreement with a private developer can management please advise re alternative plans should agreement not be forthcoming?"

REPLY:

Community facilities for the Citywest/Fortunestown area will be delivered in accordance with the Local Area Plan’s phasing requirements.

As previously advised, the Council's Planning and Community Departments are in ongoing discussions with a third party relating to a specific option for the provision of a new community centre in the area.  While this option is contingent on agreement with a private developer there are also legal and planning considerations involved.  Exploration of possible alternative options/sites also forms part of the current process.

Further details will be provided to local Councillors when there is a specific proposal in place.
