QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor L. de Courcy

To ask the Chief Executive is there a timeframe for the completion of the new coffee shop in Corkagh Park?

REPLY:

The new coffee shop at Corkagh Park is under construction as part of the overall upgrade of Corkagh Park in line with the approved Part 8. Work is progressing on all the various elements of the Corkagh Park Enhancement Project. The second phase of the Green Isle Road Carpark is open, as is the newly up-graded St. John's Carpark.  The new Fairy tree Trail is also complete and is open to visitors. Work is also progressing on the new signage and wayfinding in the park, with items being fabricated at the present time. In relation to the cafe building and hub area; work continues and the roofing and glazing of the building is finished and the internal fit out is well underway. It is envisaged the building construction works will be fully completed by the end of Spring 2025 and a 2nd tender process for the operator of the facility is currently underway. Once they are appointed they will be involved in the final fit out of the coffee shop post construction. The dates for this will be confirmed subject to a successful tender outcome to the current process and the appointment of an operator, at which time that programme can be agreed.
