February2005 Area Committee
Question: Councillor M. Baker:
"To ask the Manger to provide the following items for Newtownpark Lands Park:(a) Benches near the tennis courts and near the Church;(b) A ramp beside the steps into Guardian Angels Church grounds to allow easy passage for people with buggies and bicycles?"
Reply:
"(a) Parks Department will consider the provision of benches at both locations in the coming weeks subject to local residents being satisfied that benches do not become focal points for anti-social activity. (b) No financial provision has been made for the installation of a ramp at this location but will be considered for inclusion in the 2006 estimates subject to finance being available. However, it is hoped that the installation of a handrail on the steps leading from Newtownpark Lands to Guardian Angels school which has been included in our 2005 programme of works will be in place in the coming weeks."
