Meeting With Local Councillors - April

We thought that, what with the local elections coming up in June, we might invite the local councillors, and local council candidates to a public meeting at the end of April.

We're trying to gauge interest, so please let us know if you're interested in coming along. We're proposing the night of Tuesday April 21st for the meeting, in the Donore Avenue Community Centre.

The discussion is open, but some topics we might raise might be:-

• Local efforts to combat dumping
• Any issues with Dublin City Council
• Local planning issues
• The new Liberties Area Plan & the new Dublin City Development Plan

Please email with any other suggestions - to corkstreetbuildings@gmail.com
Or leave a comment here on the blog!

Hope to see you there!

Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017

Available on the Dublin City Council website here:-
http://www.dublin.ie/devplan/

They say:-

Dublin City Council is starting the preparation of a new City Development
Plan. This plan-making process will take two years and will end with the
publication of the Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017.
The paper is meant to kick-start public debate on what broad planning and development matters should be included in the new Plan. The paper sets out what we consider to be the main development issues facing Dublin City but the list is not set in stone and we want to hear what you think.
We want to hear your views on what you think are the ‘big picture’ issues facing the City. During the two year process there will be plenty of opportunity to raise and discuss more detailed matters but at this stage we would ask you to concentrate on the ‘big picture’ issues, and not, for example on the rezoning of particular parcels of land.
If the new Plan is to reflect your concerns and aspirations, in addition to Government strategies and guidelines, it is important that we have your input right from the outset.
The City Manager very much welcomes your views, or those of any group or organisation you represent, on what you consider the next City Development Plan 2011 – 2017 should contain.
