COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, September 21, 2022
MOTION NO.11
MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons
That this Area Committee support Bawnogue community centres call for a wheelchair accessible toilet to be installed to allow the centre to be inclusive to all of the Community. The centre has plans to extend it's service provision to people with disability and additional needs and to achieve this they require a fully accessible disability toilet. We ask for a full report into what needs to happen to get this completed.
REPORT: The Community team note that the Councillor has been in contact with Architects department directly on this matter. Architects have advised the Community Department that the existing accessible toilets in the Bawnogue Community Centre meet current accessibility requirements. Substantial funding has been allocated for a range of facility upgrade projects in the centre over the last 2 years and the Community Department are keen to see all these upgrades progressed and fully completed. Should there be any changes to proposed upgrades we would welcome a meeting with the BOM of Bawnogue to discuss current grants and capital works.
