SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees that as an Active Travel measure the design of the kissing gate into Corkagh Park from Cherrywood Cresent should be adjusted to allow wheelchair users access.

REPORT:

The access into Corkagh Park at Cherrywood Crescent has been fitted with a vehicle control gate designed to provide universal access for pedestrians, wheelchairs and prams.  The opening of the gate takes cognisance of wheelchair access requirements and is constructed in a manner that facilitates it while restricting access for unauthorised vehicles. The gate has been recently assessed for suitability for access by wheelchair users and was found to be compliant.
