MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to explore the feasibility of installing a running path around the perimeter of Mill Lane Park, adjacent to a path for use by pedestrians, following the approach set out by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in Phase 2 of their work for Fernhill Park.

REPORT:

The path around the pitches in Mill Lane is approximately 800 metres long and 2 metres wide. On foot of a similar Motion at the ACM in December 2020, the path was cleaned of encroaching vegetation and included in the 2021 Improvement works Programme for repair.  The repair work was carried out at the time and this also included the resurfacing of the path leading from the car park down to the pitches.  The width of the path is consistent with pedestrian paths used throughout public parks and is available for members of the public who wish to use it for running.  There is no proposal to provide a separate running path or increase its width any further.
