FW: Bog Field Park submission

I have also made a detailed submission to the council on the new proposed Golf Course Road Park which is currently out for public submissions.

 

Here is a copy of my submission.

 

Bog Field Park submission

 

That provision be made to light up the park and the playing courts and playground to maximize playing time and availability and to combat possible antisocial behaviour in these areas.

 

That flood lighting be provided for the playing pitch to maximize playing time and availability.

 

That a light controlled pedestrian crossing be placed across the Golf Course Road.

 

That bollards be fitted on the Fairways pavements to prevent parking.

 

That the wall separating the park from Fairways be

• Removed
• Reduced in height by 1' 6" to allow passing motorists to see into the park and thus improve public scrutiny of the park and the activities to prevent anti-social behaviour as at present the wall is too high to allow motorists to see into the area.

 

That the walk area be concreted or covered in tarmacadam to allow for walking and pushchairs/wheelchairs.  This surface will ensure that the walkway is suitable for use all year round.

 

That a wooden fence or boundary be erected to the rear of those houses on the bottom of Pairc na Coille to provide them with privacy from the school and vice versa.

 

That the existing ESB pole currently located in the Garden of Mr Ryce Kelly's home be undergrounded as part of the school and Park project.

 

That a full traffic plan be implemented for the Fairways and school entrance and that this plan be circulated to the residents and school management.
