If you are over 65 years of age and have a small repair job that you would like help with then the Blanchardstown Area Partnership and Age Action Ireland can help you through their new Care and Repair Programme. For jobs they cannot do they can put you in contact with a reliable trades person.
Work is due to commence on the construction of footpaths in Tyrrelstown Park this week. The work was delayed due to adverse weather conditions over the summer. The contractor will be moving in today to set up a compound in preparation for the start of the work. It is estimated that the work will take a number of weeks. The works to the pitches will also start using the topsoil excavated from the paths.
Fingal County Council are also completing the refurbishment work to the two pedestrian bridges, and it is hoped to have them ready for installation during October.
A further update will be provided at next weeks Area Committee Meeting. If you require any further clarification in the meantime please contact me.
