Dublin 5 December 2007 Dear Sirs, On behalf of DUBLIN 15 COMMUNITY COUNCIL I wish to make the following observations on the Clonsilla Village Urban Centre Strategy, DUBLIN 15. The area is bounded by the Clonsilla Road to the North, the Maynooth rail line to the South, Clonsilla rail station to the West and the Dr Troy Bridge to the East. The intent of the strategy is to create a realistic vision for the future enhancement of the vitality and viability of the Village as an Urban Centre within Dublin 15, providing a framework to guide the formulation of future development proposals. We have structured our submission to address the issues for investigation in the strategy: o Proposals for the co-ordinated development of greenfield sites and future infill development o Creation of a network of safe pedestrian and cyclist routes o Traffic management and car parking strategy for the village o Potential of the Royal Canal as a local amenity and preservation of existing local heritage o Creation of a network of public open spaces and an enhanced public realm and character within the Village Dublin 15 Community Council Page 1 of 8 1.0 Current situation: Clonsilla Village has grown organically over a long period of time, in comparison with the rest of Dublin 15. -

Co. Dublin 27 May 2009 Submission on the Draft Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park Dear Commissioners of Public Works We would like to make the following submission on Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park – Consultation Draft. 1.0 Introduction The Dublin 15 Community Council was formed 15 years ago (merging the Castleknock & Blanchardstown community councils which date from the early 1970's) to provide an umbrella organisation for the many residents and voluntary community groups in the Dublin 15 area. Residents Associations and Community groups focus on their own specific areas but often feel powerless to influence the big issues like transport, educational, recreational & sporting infrastructure or crime prevention. The Community Council provides a forum to discuss these issues and potential solutions. Our main objective is to develop the consensus views of the Dublin 15 community in matters relating to Planning & Development, Public Transport, Environment, Education, Health Care, Policing, Job Creation, Recreational Facilities, General Infrastructure and Tourist facilities. Having developed the consensus, make representation to State and other Statutory Bodies through a wide variety of communication channels, with the aim of improving the quality of life for the residents of Dublin 15. Page 1 of 5 2.0 Major problems Blanchardstown was earmarked from the early seventies as one of County Dublin’s’ three new towns. It has been anticipated for the past twenty years that this area would eventually accommodate a population of circa 100,000 persons.
