MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive arrange the removal or replacement of the kissing gate at the play space entrance to Collinstown to ensure access to the park for wheelchair users.

REPORT:

The access into Collinstown Park nearest the playground 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.
