QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the manager for an update on a motion passed at a previous area committee meeting requesting a lit pathway through Greenhills Park.

REPLY:

This matter was raised under motion 4 on the agenda of the April 2023 meeting of this area committee, the response given to that motion is copied below.

'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.'   

The Public Realm Section is currently examining and costing a proposal to extend the public lighting over to the park entrance on St James' Road.  It is hoped to include this scheme on the 2024 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme which will be presented in draft form to the meeting of the area committee in January.
