Neighbourhood Watch

Another area resident has taken the time to make the following article:

I'd like to explain what Neighbourhood Watch is :)

Neighbourhood Watch is an exellent initiatve set up by An Garda Siochana. It is run and organised by our local Community Gardai in Cabra Garda Station. It entails, having one area co-ordinator over one area, ie. one area co-ordinator over Rathborne! Then there would be street co-ordinators over each street/ sector ie. the way, court, avenue etc. Each street co-ordinator will report back to the area co-ordinator and give updates on issues that are arrising on their streets. The area co-ordinator will report back to the Community Garda assigned to this area at the Community Watch meeting. This does not mean that every resident cannot attend the Neighbourhood Watch meetings, it is just a way of conveying problems appropriatley to the Gardai. Just want to add, any information that residents give is totally confidential and will never be given out. The most important part in keeping our Community safe is the community themselves :) Any questions on Neghbourhood Watch please contact me :)

To contact anyone in relation the Neighbourhood watch process contact members of your respective committees. You can also view the postings on the forums section of Rathborne.net

LUAS

The planned line from St. Stephens Green to Broadstone and on to Broombridge is still on track. From Broadstone to Broombridge the route will be the old railway cutting which passes under the North Circular Road, New Cabra Road and Fassaugh Road bridges. The construction work should cause minimal disruption in Phibsborough and Cabra and the end product should provide a wonderful public transport amenity for the area

Threat of High-Rise Developments

Threat of High-Rise Developments

Thankfully Dublin City Council has ditched its plans to change the City Development Plan to allow for high-rise. The plan, if implemented, would have led to16 storeys in Phibsborough, Pelletstown, Grangegorman, and the Dublin Industrial Estate. There will now be a public Consultation Plan on the environmental impact of the high-density and high-rise plans.

DCC considering revisions to city areas suitable for High Rise developments

Local councillor Mary Fitzpatrick passed on some details Dublin City Council draft plans being considered on high rise buildings. You can find in our downloads section a word file and map showing the details being proposed.

The Council is considering a variation to the current City Development Plan that would set-out guidelines for high rise development in the city. This issue will probably be considered at the December meeting of the city council and although the matter should not be decided in December, if the variation goes ahead it would have implications for our area. Mary would welcome your comments and feedback on the City Council's proposal.

Check out the files are available in the Downloads / Rathborne General section.
