Emergency Motion 1 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

This meeting of the South East Area Committee supports the community in Sandymount and in Particular the residents Seafort Avenue in their efforts be included at all stages of the planning process regarding the building of a new local school at Roslin Park.  Further this meeting calls upon the Department of Education to initiate a preplanning meeting with local residents on all aspects of this school development in this area so as concerned residents can have input and an equal level through informed consent and participation,  also that DCC planning and traffic departments facilitate a meeting with local residents to address the ongoing issues and impacts of the school development within this community and clear up the uncertainty that exists around traffic re arrangements and residence parking, road layout and general public domain management.

Reason
Many residents are being deliberately kept in the dark by the Department of Education in relation to the development of the site. This school will have a huge impact on the immediate area where the school was built and whole of Sandymount.

Resulting in the realignment of traffic flows residents parking and a big increase in cyclists, pedestrians, as well as many parents using the cars to bring the children to school the public. The main will be stretched to the limits here all the community are asking for here is transparency, accountability and participation in what takes place in their community  next door to  their homes.

Order:Agreed.
