MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

To request a report on the car park at Kiltipper Park, addressing the delay in opening it, how the outstanding issues will be resolved and when we can expect to see the car park open to take the pressure off the surrounding residential areas.

REPORT:

The carpark at Kiltipper is not yet open, to allow the growth and establishment of grass within the reinforced paver units. Our consultants have advised us that the area should not accommodate vehicular traffic until the end of May this year.

Phase 2 of the development of the park is currently at the detailed design stage, prior to tender. The commencement of this project will likely have an impact on public access to the carpark. While we do not have a programme for the construction stage of Phase 2; it is however likely that the Phase 2 construction stage may require management of pedestrian and vehicular access to the car park and that section of the park. Once we get closer to May, and have some indication of the likely start on site of Phase 2, we will be able to give a clearer indication of likely opening dates for the carpark and/or if Phase 2 is likely to have an impact on same.
