MOTION NO.10

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To call on the Chief Executive to carry out the long overdue repairs on Hermitage Park playspace as a matter of urgency and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPORT:

Following an inspection of the Hermitage Park playground, several items have been identified for attention in the short term.  These include.

• Replacing the bouncing surface on the trampoline
• Topping-up sand play area with additional sand
• Tidying up entrance to sand play area
• Upgrading run off area at the base of the 2 embankment slides

The tunnel which was set alight will not be replace as it was giving rise to anti-social behaviour which has somewhat abated since it was closed following fire damage.  This area will be reinstated as a grassed bank.  The footpath beside the grass bank will also be surfaced.
