MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor A. Hayes

To request a footpath be installed along the desire line outside house 1 Palmerstown Court, Kennelsfort Road Upper.

REPORT:

There is currently a good quality footpath already provided at this location.

The regularisation of this desire line would provide a second footpath to run parallel to an existing footpath that is 5m away.   

In this instance I don't believe the benefit gained by regularising this desire line justifies the environmental and financial costs that would be incurred. 

I would support the re-alignment of the footpath whenever the existing footpath requires replacement in the future
