QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. Whelan

"To ask if public lighting will be installed in the field beside Sundale Shopping centre area. Could I get some information on when any development works or upgrades have been done to the Firstly, the area is regularly used as a way the Sundale estate and it gives access to the Sundale shopping area. See video attached to see lack of lighting on the pathway. Will there be plans to include this area in a public lighting scheme? Secondly, there is a make shift pathway through the field that leads directly to the shop (picture attached marking this). Would there be scope to include a new pathway that leads directly to the pedestrian entrance to the shopping area?"

REPLY:

The Public Realm Section is currently examining this request to install public lighting from Sundale Green to Fortunestown Lane. There is an existing footpath from Sundale Green to Fortunestown Lane which adequately provides pedestrian connectivity from Fortunestown Lane to Sundale Shopping Centre and a further footpath isn’t required, there are no plans to provide an additional footpath across the green space for this reason.  It is hoped to include this proposed public lighting scheme on the 2025 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme which will be presented in draft form to the meeting of the area committee in January next.
