Blackrock Village Renewal Scheme
Late last month I reported on the prosed new playground that was earmarked for Blackrock Village. Read details here
At this weeks council meeting the City Manager updated Councillors on the progress of the Blackrock Village Renewal Scheme. The first phase of which will comprise the provision of a children’s playground and small park with plaza and seating. It will be bounded by Convent Road, the main Blackrock Road and the entrance to the Ursuline School.
The wall along Convent Avenue will be set back to allow for residents parking. The wall fronting the main road will be replaced with railings to improve safety and to afford a view of the new facility from the centre of the village. The old public toilets will be removed.
The Part 8 process will begin immediately and, all going well, the City Council should be in a position to commence the physical development work by late Autumn.
It is estimated that the overall cost will amount to €1.2m and at this weeks Council meeting, Councillors approved this spend.
