QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor A. Smyth

"To ask the Council what measures can be put in place around the playground in Kilnamanagh where continued any social behaviour is caused?"

REPLY:

Additional lighting has been installed adjacent to the playground to improve visibility and passive surveillance after dark. Tree branches around the playground have also been lifted to improve sightlines and visibility into the area. The Public Realm Section meets regularly with An Garda Síochána to address issues in parks and public open spaces, including concerns relating to anti-social behaviour. The issues reported in Kilnamanagh playground have been raised with An Garda Síochána, who have applied additional resources to patrolling the area, including the playground itself.
