Parkgate Frankfield Residents Association

Recently some residents contacted me on behalf of the above Estate and they had a number of issues they wished to persue.  I met with one of them and the Area Engineer recently and we ‘walked the land’  While they had a number of concerns only some of which could be addressed in the short term, I was delighted to see that there is active participation by residents to trying to respond to the needs of their community. I have contacted the Estates office to find out when the Estate will be taken in charge since council officials use this to back their arguments that nothing can be done.

The Engineers response is listed below: 

1)       Old Tree (which I believe is preserved) – I have asked our in-house tree surgeon to examine.

2)       Dumping grass – Internal issue for residents.

3)       Gullies – Local Foreman to address.

4)       Stop Sign – This is not practical due to sight distance and space constraints.

5)       Internal lining – It is Cork County Council’s policy not to do so within housing estates.

6)       Speed Bumps – Not in charge of Cork County Council.

7)       Potholes – Local Foreman to address.
