QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

To ask the Chief Executive to put in place formal arrangements for the locking of the barriers in the Corkagh Park carparks to prevent misuse of the amenity. 

REPLY:

Arrangements are in place to lock the three car parks at Corkagh Park in line with park closing hours.  For operational reasons, the car parks are closed in sequence. Some car parks therefore close in advance of the official closing time. Where the closing time varies from the official closing time, the earlier time is prominently displayed in the car park.

As part of the upgrade works taking place in Corkagh Park new gates will be erected at the St John and the Green Isle Road car parks.  These gates will be automated.  This will provide greater flexibility in relation to the opening and closing times of the car parks.  It is also proposed to include the automation of the gate at the Outer Ring Road car park in the draft improvement works programme for 2026 which will be presented to area committee next January.
