A draft plan- provided to the area committee and made public is in place for this project."

REPLY:

A procurement process is underway at the present time to engage a consultant landscape architect for the purpose of finalising the design of the Whitestown Stream upgrade scheme, the landscape architect will also prepare the Part 8 plans and drawings and prepare documents for the tender process to engage a works contractor for the scheme.  It is hoped that the Part 8 process will be run over the summer months and will involve substantial consultation with local residents and stakeholders in the area.  The Part 8 process should be completed by the end of the summer months, a works contractor will be engaged thereafter with works commencing in the final quarter of the year it is expected.
