MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive discusses and examines a plan to improve and/or make better usage of the locked-in green space in the attached photograph given ongoing problems reported by residents as outlined in a recent membersrep by this Councillor and at this meeting; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

The rectangular piece of open space at Arthur Griffith estate is maintained by the Public Realm Section and grass cutting is carried out on a regular basis as part of the grass cutting schedule. Access to the open space is available at 3 of the corners of the open space. The fourth corner is restricted by a locked gate.

Following a recent site inspection arrangements are currently in hand to have the area litter picked and herbicide applied to weed growth at the sides of paths and base of boundary walls. A small hole in the path at the rear of No 22 will be repaired. The shrubbery has been listed for pruning during the 2021/2022 winter pruning season.

The path running adjacent to houses 63 and 82 has been listed for consideration for resurfacing in the draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2022.
