MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

That this ACM requests that flooding in a number of path areas within Greenhills Park after heavy rain, is assessed and work done to eliminate excessive surface water. Flooding is occuring across a number of paths after rain, which means at times, taking excessive detours across uneven grass, which is often left uncut to improve biodiversity. This is causing difficulty for some older people and those with mobility issues.

REPORT:

A commitment was given to a recent deputations meeting with the Temple Manor and Wilkins Residents Association to resolve the footpath ponding issues in Greenhills Park as requested here.  A contract is in place at present for minor footpath surfacing works in parks and on estate open spaces, and the park has been inspected recently along with the contractor to determine the extent of footpath overlay which is needed to resolve these issues.  It is expected that arrangements will be in place in the near future to have these works carried out.
