Council to initiate countywide consultation on teenage facilities
SOUTH DUBLIN County Council has commenced a consultation process on facilities for teenagers throughout the county.
At this week’s monthly meeting of SDCC, Councillor William Lavelle posted a question asking the Chief Executive “to provide a detailed update on the planned consultation on teenage facilities.”
The council replied that provision has been made to initiate a countywide consultation process on teen spaces and facilities in 2017.
The council added: “This involves a study regarding the facilities for teenagers in parks and open spaces in South Dublin County, including provision of youth cafés where appropriate within parks and open-space locations.
“The Community Department is involved in this study with Environment Water and Climate Change.”
The project is defined as a study of the facilities for teenagers in parks and open spaces in South Dublin County, including the provision of youth cafés and will examine both active and passive recreation.
The council said consultation will be carried out on the facilities for teenagers in our parks and open spaces with particular focus on facility providers, relevant interest groups and teenagers.
The study will then report to the council as it is progressing. The study has commenced with some background study underway.
