MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor J. Sheehy

To ask the Chief Executive give some guidance and assurance that the funds are still available within the timeframe of the District Enhancement Scheme listed for Neilstown Shopping Centre and that this be prioritised as soon as works come to an end at the Bawnogue Shopping Centre where it is evident that this scheme is in motion and currently being carried out. I would also ask for confirmation that the funds are indeed in place and will staff will be sourced to complete the project following a consultation phase with the retailers and the members of the community whose livelihood depends on this shopping centre and accessibility to all within the community. With a promise to make this an attractive and encouraging place to shop and connect with other members of the community by utilising the space for socialising and networking.

REPORT:

SDCC are committed to delivering the best scheme we can for Neilstown District Centre. Funding and resources will be made available to the scheme but to try rush a scheme in now will result in insufficient resources being available and compromise the quality of what we want to deliver.

A site meeting with local stakeholders is scheduled for 4th June 2025 to explain the background of the scheme and to outline a projected timeline for the commencement.
