QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Can the Chief Executive provide a report on the recent damage to the playing pitches at Glenaulin Park/Gaels field and to include in the report what action can be taken to prevent such damage being repeated.

REPLY:

The damage caused to the pitches were wheel marks left by the tractor which was cutting grass.  The damage was superficial in nature and has no long-term effect.  While the Public Realm Section endeavours to cut pitches on a weekly basis there comes a time each year when it is not possible to continue cutting due to poor ground conditions.  To prevent such damage being repeated grass cutting ceases for the winter period.
