MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive examines a number of locations on the Beech Park Green and in Beech Park estate (on the green beside the Orthodontist) for the placing of park benches, with allocation set aside in the 2023 budget funding regarding same, as this was brought to my attention recently by residents and a subsequent wider survey showed strong support for such installations.

REPORT:

The Public Realm Section would be open to exploring options of the provision of park benches on the open space at Beech Park Green where the football pitch is located.  The open space in Beech Park estate beside the Orthodontist is smaller in size and would not be considered suitable for a bench.  This is due to the proximity of houses and the history of problems associated with ASB on benches in close proximity to houses.  The provision of a bench or benches on Beech Park Green will be listed for consideration in the 2023 draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme.
