MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 25, 2025

QUESTION NO.19

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the manager for an update on a previously agreed motion at this ACM, regarding the question of developing a safe permeability route between the Paddocks and Hillcrest Heights? The motion referenced the importance of a consultation with residents ahead of any decision, and now asks for feedback from the agreed engagement that was to occur between the Active Travel team and the landowner/management and  / or the NTA"

REPLY:

There is an existing gap in the boundary between the Paddocks and Hilcrest and a trail is visible in the grass. A project will be considered as soon as The Paddocks is taken in charge of South Dublin County Council. In December members were notified that it is intended to advertise The Paddocks Estate, Lucan, Co. Dublin for Taking in Charge. On completion of the Taking in Charge of The Paddocks Estate we will seek funding from the NTA to commence a permeability project in this location.
