Summary of Submission and Observation:
• All areas of policy within the plan and within the yearly implementation plans must consider the needs, rights and participation of all children • Objective 4.75 This must include The Meadows area North of Knocknaheeny, which requires bus services urgently to provide accessibility to growing number of residents. • Bus services need to connect across the northwest area of the city to the Primary Care Centre on Bakers Road • An access point from Knocknaheeny Roundabout to the Primary Care Centre needs to be urgently created, especially since community, health and social care services have now relocated to the premises. • More flexible bus routes from the Northside need to be created to and from Health, Arts, Culture and community service provision in the city centre, for all children and young people to access. • Objective 6.5 p. 207 With significant urban development associated mostly with housing and mobility infrastructure in the Northwest area of Cork City, it is very important that alongside this, landscaping, tree planting and biodiversity is incorporated. • Objectives 6.17 These objectives must specifically refer to children (including infants and young children) young people, their parents and caregivers. They must include positive safety planning measures, so ensure open spaces and recreational facilities can be utilised by all ages and abilities and interests. • Chapter 10: Key Grow Areas and Neighbourhood Development Sites, pp. 207 – 444 There is no mention in this chapter of the Northwest Regeneration MasterPlan. • Objective 13 As well as retail considerations, the development of Hollyhill as an Urban centre requires a full review of the roundabout, and intersection of the two main roads. They are hostile to pedestrians, and the area is becoming a major through road from Blarney to the City, with no benefit locally. Children have a sense of the risk associated with the presence, volume and speed of cars, which should be addressed through a traffic management strategy. The area needs landscaping and become much more child, family and public friendly in general. The use of high metal fencing, needs to end, and a more respectful, design approach to be built upon
