MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 24, 2021

QUESTION NO.19

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if there are any plans for further development of the facilities at the so called '30 acres' on Greenhills Road and will he confirm any contacts with the Community in Bancroft Estate in respect of the matter and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

Contact has been received from the Tymon North residents group and from Scoil Aonghusa in relation to a number of issues in Bancroft Park directly to the rear of the school.  These relate to the condition of the bridge across the Poddle, the condition of the footpath to the rear of the school and to other related matters.  Arrangements are being put in place to hold a meeting on site with these interested parties during the coming week to examine these issues jointly.

It should be noted that the measures sought previously by the Bancroft Residents Association have been implemented.  These included the installation of fencing in a number of locations, the raising of the height of fencing and gates in other locations and the fixing of metal studding to the boundary wall at the entrance to the park from Castle Park/Bancroft Close to prevent loitering and anti-social behaviour at that location.
