Lakelands Park Shine-A-Light

On a positive note in these difficult times, the Shine-a-light event on Saturday was celebrated in Lakelands Park in an organised way with the under-70s coming out at a social distance to exchange greetings. Our thanks to John Gillespie who organised the event and provided the pictures.

Are you "Cocooning" - Do you need help with your "messages"?

I Love Terenure have organised a Covid-19 community support network - if you are self isolating or "cocooning" and need help with collecting groceries, prescriptions or other basic "messages", the following volunteers are available to help in the Rathdown estate and nearby roads. They are happy to help, and live in, or nearby, the roads concerned:

 

If your road is not one of the above, go to https://sites.google.com/view/iloveterenure/help for a full list of volunteers in the Terenure and surrounding areas, and further information on volunteering and protocols for volunteers.

Stay in - stay well!

BusConnects - Consultation period postponed until September

The NTA (National Transport Authority) has issued the following message concerning the current consultation period for the new BusConnects proposals:

"Due to the current Covid-19 Emergency, the NTA has decided that there will be a further public consultation regarding the Core Bus Corridor Projects later this year. We hope to carry out the additional public consultation in September 2020, however this will be dependent on current HSE restrictions being lifted and in line with any HSE guidelines which may remain in place later this year.

The current public consultation remains active until Friday 17th April 2020, in deference to the submissions we continue to receive and we would encourage people who would like to send submissions to continue to do so. Submissions can be sent by email to cbc@busconnects.ie or by post to the National Transport Authority."

------------------------------------------------------

The latest proposals can be seen at www.busconnects.ie. Click on the box marked “Core Bus Corridor Project” and the list of the 12 corridors will come up. Full details of each one, including maps, can be accessed. The corridors affecting us are:

Corridor 10, Tallaght to Terenure
Corridor 12, Rathfarnham to City Centre pass through Terenure Village
Corridor 11, Kimmage to the city centre is also relevant

The Terenure Residents' Association hope to have a public meeting to discuss the proposals as soon as practicable and in accordance with the current guidelines and legislation regarding such meetings. We will be making a submission to the NTA at that time.
