MOTION NO.12

MOTION: Councillor K. Egan

That this committee ask the Chief Executive to investigate the walkway at the back of Grangeview Clondalkin which is used by locals to gain access to footpath, to bus stop, canal walk, main road and to access Grangecastle Business Park. It's not a proper walkway and has become a littering black spot for household rubbish. Could a pathway be established here? Cllr Ken Egan

REPORT:

During construction stage of the Outer Ring Road (R136) permeability was provided from Grange View Road estate at the approximate location of houses 110/112. Shortly after completion of the works and provision of the link, SDCC was requested by residents and Local Councillors to remove the link and block up the access. As a result in order to establish a permeability link from Grange View to the Canal consensus would be required from residents of Grange View Road estate. If consensus is achieved the next step would be to secure funding and request for the scheme to be included in the capital works programme.
