MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan, Councillor C. O'Connor , Councillor D. O'Donovan, Councillor E. O'Brien, Councillor E. Murphy, Councillor Yvonne Collins, Councillor T. Costello, Councillor Shane Moynihan

To amend the Development Plan at Chapter 7, SM2 Obj 4 to be amended to include 'while also taking account of existing patterns of anti-social behaviour and other unintended consequences of removal of such barriers'

REPORT:

The motion seeks to inert the text 'while also taking account of existing patterns of anti-social behaviour and other unintended consequences of removal of such barriers' into SM2 Objective 4 so that it reads as follows:

‘To ensure that connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists is maximised and walking and cycling distances are reduced in existing built-up areas, by removing barriers to movement and providing active travel facilities in order to increase access to local shops, schools, public transport services and other amenities, while also taking account of existing patterns of anti-social behaviour and other unintended consequences of removal of such barriers'.

The proposed additional wording is considered acceptable.  

Recommendation

It is recommended that the motion be adopted.

Amend SM2 Objective 4 to read as follows:

‘To ensure that connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists is maximised and walking and cycling distances are reduced in existing built-up areas, by removing barriers to movement and providing active travel facilities in order to increase access to local shops, schools, public transport services and other amenities, while also taking account of existing patterns of anti-social behaviour and other unintended consequences of removal of such barriers'.
