MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"This Area Committee calls on the Manager to remove or fix the broken fencing from Brookview Green space and to tidy the area so that it is made safer for children to play?"

REPORT:

In recent times the playground and green space in Brookview has been susceptible to dumping, burning of waste and targeted vandalism with the Public Realm Section conducting regular clean-ups. The playground fence in Brookview Estate was broken and burned and the damaged sections have since been removed by the Public Realm Section. Additionally, there were attempts to burn the playground equipment. As a result, the Council has engaged an independent Playground Inspector to assess the damage. Following receipt of this report, the Council will appoint a playground repairs contractor to carry out the necessary repairs.  Residents are strongly encouraged to report any vandalism, or illegal dumping to An Garda Síochána.
