MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"This Area Committee calls on the CEO to identify an area within Kilmartin Estate or Boundary for a wild flower meadow?"

REPORT:

The Public Realm Section is implementing a reduced grass mowing programme in certain locations which encourages the growth of wildflowers.  The area of wildflower meadowls currently in place is 151 hectares which is mostly in the parks around the county.  The Public Realm Section would be very happy to examine this proposal and identify an area in Kilmartin suitable for inclusion in this reduced mowing programme.  It is proposed that this would be done with the assistance of local residents, to ensure that there is local agreement on what is proposed.
