MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 27, 2022

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"Could the Manager inform this Area Committee if there is a plan in place to address the following issues in Tymon Park. The Mayors stone on the Arena Road is overgrown by weeds and needs cleaning up. The footpath to the left of the Bridge on the Arena Road needs resurfacing, as the current surface is a trip hazard. The small pedestrian bridge over the Poddle at the Arena Road end of the Park needs to be resurfaced. There are numerous benches around Tymon Park, on both sides of the M50, that need remedial works as there are exposed bolts and missing seats. Could signage for Public Toilets be erected at the Tymon side of the Park?"

REPLY:

The maintenance issues raised here in relation to Tymon Park and at the Basketball Arena Road have been referred to the Tymon Park maintenance depot for attention.  The locations where footpath repairs and surfacing are required will be included in the works programme to be carried out by the Council's footpath surfacing contractor in the coming months.  The overgrowth around the Mayor's stone will be cut back to make the stone visible.  All seats within the park will be examined to identify where repairs are required and these will be scheduled for repairs or replacement as necessary.
