Town Council Motions Update relating to Tudenham car park and the provision of a skate park.

4.3 Cllr.K.Glynn: That Westmeath County Council would install preventative calming measures at both entrances to the car park at Tudenham, Lough Ennell, in order to prevent the rapidly increasing problem of “souped up” cars using this area for anti social activities.

Reply: Mullingar Area Office will examine.

Council are to investigate what measures can be taken but local residents have been subjected to loud disruptive noise pollution late at night and this car park which was only tarmaced in recent years by taxpayers money, will be destroyed by this activity so action must be prompt and decisive. In addition the Garda are to be informed by letter of the situation.

4.4 Cllr.K.Glynn: That Westmeath County Council would bring forward plans for the long overdue provision of a skate park in Mullingar, which was first raised a number of years ago but without any progress.

Reply: Mullingar Area Office will bring this matter to the attention of the Community & Enterprise Section. A source of funding will be required if this project is to proceed.

I have asked Council to take a leadership role on this issue and they are to look at the Tullamore model for ideas on costings and insurance.I have received a expression of interest and have placed this motion on the Mullingar Area Committee agenda to formalise this project and try and get it off the ground.Council have also agreed to sound out interested parties.
