MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to consider providing public lighting from the Johnsbridge Park entrance to Griffeen Park to the dog run.

REPORT:

Lighting in parks and open spaces has only been provided where there are short links between residential areas.  It is not considered safe to provide lighting in large parks or open space since persons could find themselves in a secluded area and vulnerable to anti-social elements who would be attracted by the public lighting.  Lighting is not provided in parks to facilities that are not designed to be used when it is dark.   There are no proposals to install lighting at the location in question.
