Motion in the name of Councillor Caroline Conroy

That this Area Committee supports that a suitable site be found in the Finglas area to create a Community Garden. As a council we have signed up to the Climate Action Plan and we have put into our development plan that we need to put in place solutions for our Climate & Biodiversity crisis, through nature base solutions and education.  A community garden fulfils these and much more, it is a great space for all the community it reduces stress, it gives purpose to residents who may have retired or are unemployed for whatever reason.  It is also a great learning place for all.  It increases biodiversity habitats and can help reduce flooding.
