MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

This Committee welcomes recent works undertaken by the Council at the pedestrian entrance to Ballyboden Way at Boden Park. This Committee further requests requests that the hawthorn trees / hedging be cut back to fence height so they become part of the normal maintenance work on the hedging carried out in the estate by the council annually.

REPORT:

The Council has carried out significant improvement works at the pedestrian entrance to Ballyboden Way, Boden Park. The Public Realm Section is in the process of engaging a contractor to complete the remaining works. The semi-mature trees will be cut back to the fence line and included in the hedge-cutting programme.

Following assessment of the site, it was determined that reducing the mature trees to fence height would compromise their health and structural stability. The planned works will open up the space and allow more light to filter through.
