MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor Sandra Fay

Area Committee commits to recognising and categorising Whitestown Stream at Jobstown as a park. ( possibly as part of Whitestown Stream Linear Park) and will advocate such in upcoming Development Plan.

REPORT:

Whitestown Stream as it passes through Jobstown is zoned as open space in the County Development Plan. The lands are managed by public realm as open space.

Public Realm has indicated that it would not come under the current definition of a park. The categorisation of a particular area of open space as a park is not a matter for the Development Plan. There may be opportunity to address further as part of the forthcoming Parks and Open Space Strategy.
