BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING

ITEM NO. 69
Pillar Lighting Kenure Park, Rush
Motion: Councillor B. Dennehy
"This Committee calls upon the Chief Executive that due to the inability to install
standard
, to give consideration to the
installation of pillar lights around the walking / running route in Kenure Park
similar to those along Malahide Castle walkway."
Report:
The bollard lighting in Malahide Demesne is purely guidance lighting along the
entrance avenue to guide cars along the avenue. It is not strong enough to
suitably light an area of after-hours active recreation. Where bollard lighting is
used to guide along walkways there is also supplementary standards lights. The
only lighting suitable for safe active recreation is standard lighting columns and it
has previously already been outlined that the installation of this type of lighting
is not suitable on the Kenure Woods Site. The ground disturbance required to
install all types of lighting is the same, whether the lighting is tall or short and the
disturbance on this undulating site would irreversibly damage this valuable
woodland park.
