Additional funding is sought for Gardenside Lane to allow a comprehensive scheme of improvements. Options under consideration and subject to further consideration include re-surfacing, new lighting, removal of overgrown vegetation, bollards to prevent vehicular access, defensive planting and creation of formal parking bays. It is proposed that €30,000 of funding originally allocated to the Myrtle Rd Viewpark Project be diverted to this project. The Myrtle Rd project is unable to progress as planned in 09/10 due to issues relating to lighting installation, maintenance and anticipated usage of the site by residents. Additional funding will be made available in 10/11 to progress the Myrtle Rd site. Further consultation will take place with other council services in relation to this.
