QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This question pertains to the plans regarding filling in the gaps behind the bus shelter at Finnstown Abbey, as previously discussed and approved through a motion (77710).

As the gaps behind the bus shelter were identified as an issue impacting the functionality and aesthetics of the area, we seek an update on the measures or plans in place to address this concern.

The community is eager to know the timeline and approach for filling in these gaps, as outlined in the motion that was passed.

REPLY:

The works identified to fill the gaps behind the bus shelter as reported under Motion 4 at the ACM in February 2023, was to reinstate the natural soil bank which existed before the openings were created.  This work was carried out at the time.  It was also noted in the report that “securing informal gap where a desire line has been created, is often difficult to achieve.  Therefore, the boundary may require a number of return visits and these will be arranged as necessary.” 

A return visit to fill the gaps again will be arranged as soon as it can be included in the works programme for the area.
