MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Area Committee supports Clondalkin Youth Band, St Joseph’s Pipe Band and Clondalkin Drama Group in their campaign to use the old Clondalkin swimming pool as a multi-purpose facility that would address their needs and the needs of our community. We also request an update report on the site of the Clondalkin swimming pool and request regular updates to this committee.

REPORT:

The Council is aware of requests from the Clondalkin Youth Band, St Joseph's Pipe Band and the Clondalkin Drama Group in relation to the availability of community space in the Clondalkin Village area and it is proposed that their requests and overall availability of Community Infrastructure for all Community Groups in the area will be examined ad reviewed within the context of the formulation of the Local Area Plan.

As part of Pre Local Area Plan preparations, the Planning Dept have already been completing an examination of the Community Infrastructure currently existing within the village area. This will be used to help determine a baseline of what already exists in the area and will lead into the wider consultations.

It is envisaged that the Local Area Plan will set out objectives in order to meet any identified requirements for additional community infrastructure, what this infrastructure is required for in terms of end usage and this in turn will feed into any proposal for the redevelopment of the Old Swimming Pool Building.
