This is a rare and special opportunity to hear the reknowned Italian flute player, Romolo Balzani. The programme will include music from the Italian masters, some of them not as well known here as they should be, such as Marcello, Sciarrino, Vinci, and Pertrassi as well as Vivaldi. The concert is generously supported by the Italian Cultural Institute.

Terenure 2030 - Help build a better Terenure

A ground breaking project is under way to develop a Community Framework Plan for the medium and long term enhancement and sustainable development of Terenure Village and District.

You are invited to an ideas generation workshop on the night of

Thursday 19th September 2013 (7.30pm – 10.30pm)
at
St Joseph's Parish Church Hall, Terenure.

The purpose of this evening is to get your inputs and ideas in to a Framework and Plan for Terenure District and Community.

How the evening will be run is important. To facilitate creative thinking, storytelling and participation we will use round tables, facilitated groups, creativity techniques, video input etc. There will be every opportunity to have your say in a possible future.

This project is a collaboration of residents' associations, local businesses and local people. It has no political affiliation, Government or Council remit.

Progress at Construction Site in Terenure Village

A second newsletter has been issued by Manning's (the company undertaking the construction work at 18-20 Rathfarnham Road) and Lidl. Roadworks involving the widening of Beechlawn Way at the junction of Rathfarnham Road are not as advanced as had been intended due to complications with underground service diversions, but the project team still hope to be ready open in December 2013.

Eircom is planning to upgrade the underground cable infrastructure in tandem with the road-widening and, according to Manning's and Lidl's newsletter, have committed to communicating with customers who may be affected by the upgrading works.

Manning's has acknowledged the annoyance that has arisen from unauthorised parking and queuing of delivery vehicles outside the site boundary in recent weeks.

What would you like to see in the public space?

At meetings with residents held earlier this year, representatives from Lidl indicated their willingness to consider views on what features might be installed in the public space at the front of the site. Suggestions to date have included seating and flower-beds, with some discussion of the implications of these.

If you have any views or suggestions, please contact the Terenure Residents' Association (click here).
