MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To ask the Manager to assess the current insufficient car parking at Tandy's Lane GAA pitch in order to facilitate hosting games by multiple clubs at the site, and seek a solution for this need?

REPORT:

The car park at Tandy’s Lane Park has 39 parking spaces, 4 of which are designated as accessible parking spaces and 1 which is used to store glass bring banks.  The park was designed to provide a wide range of activities within the area available and includes, a pitch, 2 playgrounds, extensive network of walks, wildlife areas, an orchard, teen space, basketball hoop, parkour equipment, exercise equipment, ruins, tree planting, swales and water attenuation areas.  The size of the park circa 7.3 hectares, limits the size and number of facilities that can be provided.  It is therefore not possible to extend the car park or provide additional onsite car park facilities. 

As part of the conditions of pitch use, clubs are advised to make use of car park facilities and to practice carpooling.  The value of carpooling should not be understated as it is an important factor to help to reduce our carbon footprint.  A letter will be issued to club(s) allocated to this pitch to encourage their members to practice carpooling.
