New Marlay Playground!

Work will start on the new playground in Marlay on 4 August. This long-awaited project will provide one of the best play areas in Dublin. It should take about 16 weeks to complete. I could quibble about the length of time this project took to come to delivery, or about the fact that it will be finished in the autumn, but this is good news for the area, and should set a new standard in Ireland.

Also, the council is reviewing all open spaces in the county, and is running an online survey: "Your Parks, Have Your Say Now!" - The Council is inviting members of the public to comment on their local parks and open spaces. Please take 3 minutes to complete the Survey Questionnaire at this the consultant's weblink - www.strategicleisure.co.uk/dlr.htm <http://www.strategicleisure.co.uk/dlr.htm>. The online survey will remain open until 14 August 2009.
