Draft Improvement Works Programme 2026

REPLY:

The following is the list of improvement works proposed for the Clondalkin, Newcastle, Rathcoole, Saggart and Brittas area for 2026.  These proposals have been compiled from issues raised as agenda items at area committee meetings throughout the course of 2025, undertakings given in response to members representations throughout the year as well as works that have been identified by staff.    It should be noted that the list below does not include those works which have already been included in the Council's three year rolling capital works programme, it includes only those works of a small scale which are to be funded from the revenue budget.  This list of schemes, along with lists of schemes for the other electoral areas, will be presented to the meeting of the County Council in February for noting by the elected members.
