Report attached herewith.

That this North Central Area Committee calls for work to be carried out at the Shantalla Road shops (opposite the Beaumont House pub) to ensure the upgrade of the parking lot surface, the installation of clear parking spaces and a new traffic management system as currently the area is in a poor state with haphazard parking of cars and dual direction of traffic which poses a threat to people's safety at this location.  

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that the area manager and other appropriate council stakeholders (waste management, parks etc.) meet with residents in Harmonstown/Artane ahead of this year’s Halloween celebrations to develop a working plan between the council and the community to prevent the accumulation of bonfire materials and bonfires on the green at McAuley Park/Ribh Road/McAuley Drive. Residents are experiencing constant build-up of materials in the weeks running up to Halloween and although they are phoning the designated helpline, they cannot keep up with the level of antisocial behaviour. A coordinated plan is needed ahead of time to tackle the issue at this location.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that the Parks Department engage with all sports clubs (athletics, football, and GAA) who use the pitches in Fr Collins Park, with a view to bringing forward an agreed maintenance schedule, so that works do not disrupt pitch playability as they have done in the past.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that Killester and Fairview Neighbourhood plans be progressed and funding be sought, that a meeting take place with residents to consult on plans. Nothing has been done with the agreed priority neighbourhood plans besides the filtered permeability on Haverty Road, Marino. There have been complaints in Killester about car’s speeding down the Demesne Killester and the dangers here due to speeding traffic as children cross here regularly.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that the Killester traffic Island between Howth Road and Collins Avenue should be planted like those in the North city and the lamp stand be repaired, one lamp of the three is missing, the area is in need of a good place making, design improvements and greening. 

That this North Central Area Committee agrees to initiate the formation of a working group dedicated to the establishment of an art venue within the North Central Area.   The working group shall be tasked with developing a comprehensive plan for the creation and management of the art venue, including but not limited to location assessment, facility design, funding strategies and community outreach.

I am requesting support from the area office and the arts office to build on the work of Creative Places, Artane Place and Arts Council research to work with local residents and organisations to form this group.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that DCC provide a full leaf removal service for the northern side of Griffith Avenue this coming Autumn.  This was a priority for me in my year as Chair of the North Central Area and I had thought that the situation had been addressed and agreed at that time however as the residents Association are no longer involved in the leaf mulch project can clarification from the public domain team be given as to what plans, if any, there are to manage the leaf fall this year on the northern side of Griffith Avenue and if the letters reported to have been received by residents from DCC in relation to a charge for leaf bags is part of this plan.

That this North Central Area Committee agrees that we are provided with an update on the installation of a “School Zone” on St. Brigid’s Road for the Girls National School, Killester.
