MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 18, 2022

MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees that SDCC with its 1000+ staff and budget of over a quarter of a billion euro should be able to organise a regular grass cutting schedule for the pedestrian lane along the Camac River between Woodford Walk and Knockmitten Park.

REPORT:

The resolution of this matter which will facilitate the introduction of a regular grass cutting schedule requires that the area be taken in charge. In property terms, ownership of the area that includes the pedestrian lane remains with the developer. Under the planning permission, the walkway/pedestrian lane in question is to be ceded as part of the open space requirement of the development. Public Realm have inspected the area and do not deem it to meet Taking in Charge standard currently and works will be required to bring it to the required level.
