MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

That this committee calls on the manager to investigate and make a statement on the ongoing anti-social behaviour that is occurring in the playground in Greenhills park. And works to find a solution as soon as possible. Local residents lives are being severely impacted and parents are reluctant to bring their children there because equipment had been fire damaged.

REPORT:

The Council's Public Realm Section has received one report of antisocial behaviour in Greenhills Park and playground in recent times, relating to the lighting of fires in the park.  The matter has been reported to the Gardai. 

The running belt in the playground which was damaged by fire some time ago has now been replaced by a set of monkey bars which is not as susceptible to vandalism. The playground has been inspected in recent days and found to be in good condition with all equipment working satisfactorily and no sign of any anti-social behaviour there.  The condition of the park and playground is being monitored closely and a weekly litter pick is being carried out there.
