QUESTION NO. 6
QUESTION: Councillor S. O'Hara
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the progress of the important ongoing works being carried out at Corkagh Park, as keeping the community informed is crucial.
REPLY:
Work is progressing on the various elements of the Corkagh Park Enhancement Project. The second phase of the Green Isle Road Carpark is now open. 36 new grass bays are temporarily cordoned-off to allow establishment until Springtime, however the remainder of the carparking spaces (93) are available to use.
Construction work on the St. John's Carpark began on the 11th November and it is expected to take 12 weeks to complete once weather and ground conditions are favourable. The new Fairy tree Trail is also complete and is now open to visitors.
Work is continuing on the cafe building and hub area. The roofing and glazing of the building is finished and work has commenced internally. The building is due to be completed early in the New Year. Work is also progressing on the new signage and wayfinding in the park, with items being fabricated at the present time.
