Fingal County Council is to carry out an audit of footpaths, entrances and steps in Ward River Valley Park, following calls for immediate action to be taken over existing pathways in bad repair at the park.
Fianna Fáil councillor, Darragh Butler tabled a motion at a recent Local Area Committee meeting, calling for immediate action to be taken to repair all of the existing pathways at Ward River Valley Park.
Responding to a report issued by the council, Cllr Butler said it was great that the issue was finally going to be addressed, as there were a lot of pathways that were worn away, burnt away and various other things down through the years.
Work is set to start on the long-awaited all-weather pitch for the Ward River Valley Park in Swords.
Fingal County Council has announces that enabling works are starting on the new all-weather sports pitch at Ward River Valley Regional Park.
The new third generation synthetic all-weather pitch will be a full sized GAA and soccer pitch, similar to the facility at Bremore Regional Park in Balbriggan.
The new floodlit facility will be accompanied by car, coach and bicycle parking to service the needs of the pitch users and to improve access to the park.
The first phase of works will see contractors carrying out limited removal of some screen tree planting to facilitate works and create space for the pitch. Following consultation with the public, care was taken with the layout of the pitch to ensure that the landmark mature tree on site could be retained. Approximately 330m2 of screen planting will be removed and the works will be completed by the end of February.
