Agenda

That this committee investigates claims of damage done to houses in the Finglas area from very regular explosions at Huntstown Quarry, and works with Fingal County Council to ensure that any future operations at the quarry have no negative consequences to properties in Finglas.   There are reports that the explosions are increasing in intensity, causing houses to shake and causing cracks in homes in the Cappagh Road area.  

That roads which have experienced severe damage due to building works in Ballymun are prioritised for repair.  They include Balcurris Road, Balbutcher Lane and Crannogue Road.

That the new Northside Depot in Ballymun looks at creating an Apprenticeship Scheme for at risk young people in the area in a variety of different skills.

That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to instigate consultation to provide a bike/skate park to the Northwest Area and that funding for the project is included in the next Capital Programme.

To ask this Area Committee to add a heading of Climate Action on our Agenda going forward.  Dublin City Council made a commitment through the Climate Action Plan to tackle the Climate Crisis through all it does as a Council.  I think it would be good for DNW to illustrate how we are tackling Climate crisis at a local level.
