Estate Cleanup – Thank You!

A big thank you to everyone who helped out on Saturday with our estate cleanup right across all areas of Marley Grange. Thanks also to everyone who wasn’t able to participate in the group cleanup but tidied up their own patch on the day and indeed throughout the week. The estate is looking really well just now and let’s do our best to keep it looking that way over the coming summer months! Again your help is much appreciated.

Estate Cleanup on 22 April 2017

Tree care programme

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council parks department have replaced a number of damaged / dead young trees with new saplings. The success of a new sapling is critically dependant on water in the initial months. If you have a new sapling planted outside or near your house perhaps you could give it an occasional watering, particularly if we get any prolonged dry spell.

Outdoor Event Licence – Longitude Festival

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council have received an application for an outdoor event licence for the holding of the Longitude Festival in Marlay Park on 14th / 15th / 16th July 2017. The application was received on 5th April. Under Article 190 of the Planning and Development (Licensing of Outdoor Events) Regulations 2001, individuals or groups are entitled to make submissions to the planning decision process. Details of the event and how to make a submission can be seen at https://dlrcoco.citizenspace.com/planning/oel0217/

The committee will continue to liaise with the council to try and minimise the disruption to residents arising from the concerts. Particular emphasis will be placed on the ongoing concerns arising from road closure at the end of the concerts and the associated risk to emergency service access to the estate during that period.
