MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Manager to provide public lighting along the main pathway through Greenhills Park. This pathway offers permeability choices to residents and visitors to the nearby Saints Roads, Limekiln Road and Ave, Wilkins Estate and Temple Manor Estate which could be continued to be utilised even after dark if lights were installed. It would also serve to provide more passive surveillance in the park after dark, which should help deter future anti-social behaviour including lighting of large bonfires on the green and in the laneways.

REPORT:

Public lighting is already in place in Greenhills Park along the main pathway through the park, from the entrance at Limekiln Lane/St Joseph's Road running along the boundary with Wilkins Estate and turning down to the bus terminus at Limekiln Avenue.  In total there is over 360 linear metres of footpath with public lighting provided along it at the present time.  This footpath currently provides connectivity and permeability between the Saints Roads, Limekiln Avenue and Road and Temple Manor estate as suggested in the motion.
