Clondalkin North (Rowlagh, etc.) has the highest population density per km² (CSO, 2022), and we are already experiencing a shortage of resources center for family and recreational activities for the young population.
The decision to build more houses is unreasonable and will have a negative impact in the short and long term.
Also, the coldcut road project goes against 2 major EU directives :
[[ 2016/2284 : reduction of 5 pollutants 2 of which are sources of nitrogen oxides and fine particulates matter ]].
We are already surrounded by ecxessive of traffics from liffey valley and the M50.
2024/1991 Urban Nature Plan which includes
City parks
Urban Hedges
Community gardens
Ensuring resident live within 300 meters of high-quality accessible public green garden space
Recreation spaces to improve mental and physical health.
Therefore, I request that the Coldcut Road be preserved as a sport ground and that more family resource centres be added in Liffey Valley.
Please consider that the value of urban biodiversity and human well-being should not be ignored or underestimated.
