That this North Central Area Committee recognises the need for local physical indoor spaces to allow for community groups to meet and for recreational/educational activities to be facilitated. Such groups and local activities very much promote social engagement and contribute to mental and physical well-being. It is also recognised that such groups lack the financial capacity to rent spaces on commercial terms and need to be supported by the provision of community spaces as successfully demonstrated by The Junction and The Community Hub in Clongriffin. Therefore, given the commitment under the North Central Discretionary Fund to undertake an audit of community needs in the Kilmore area, the North Central Area Committee agrees that the planned residential developments at Cromcastle Court (DCC) and at the Cromcastle Underpass (LDA) should include dedicated community spaces that will be made available to local groups for local community activities and local needs. 

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that the manger give a detailed update on the status of the ‘car park’ outside DC Motors on Richmond Road, Dublin 3, a publicly owned piece of land, currently being blocked off by unused cars, as well as a chain and traffic cone tied between two cars, see map & photo attached.

That this North Central Area Committee agree that the NCA manager, public domain executive, active transport office, traffic engineers meet with the CRA, CBA and local councillors to agree a plan for place making and greening on Vernon Avenue at the seafront end to create a village where people will be able to shop, eat, relax and linger, as the interim designed cycleway is to go out to consultation in early summer it is essential that the village place making, traffic calming measures, greening , nature based flood prevention is integrated in any design for active transport.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees to request that the active transport office executive, traffic engineers, public domain executives, in consultation with resident associations and local councillors create a safe neighbourhood, with protected active transport, place making, greening and calming from through traffic on Richmond Road and Grace park road, as they are both on the NTA Greater Dublin Cycle network maps and have huge issues with traffic, that could be solved using the substantial active transport infrastructure budget and resources from the active transport office, that as both roads are routes to a number of schools and as they have large residential development in the planning process adding 1000’s of extra residential units, that unless alternative save active travel options are provided rapidly, this situation will become increasingly worse with even more dangerous driving.
