MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council carries out works to resurface the ground at the playground in Rathfarnham Castle Park

REPORT:

The two playgrounds in Rathfarnham Castle Park are inspected weekly by Council staff, in addition to this the Council has engaged an independent playground inspection firm to assess all playgrounds across the county on a quarterly basis and this includes the playgrounds in Rathfarnham Castle Park. Following a recent inspection the report received by the Council identified that there were areas of minor shrinkage in the playground surface.  These defects are identified in the inspection report as low risk however the Council has engaged a contractor to carry out the repairs necessary to these areas of shrinkage, there is no safety requirement for the playground to be fully resurfaced.
