River Dodder Rainscape
Overview
The River Dodder Rainscape project aims to create new green spaces, make enhancements to existing green spaces, and change the appearance of some hard surfaces.
This will provide benefits to the local community and at the same time protect the Dodder River by removing harmful pollutants from the rainwater that flows off our roads, before it gets to the river.
Adapting to variations in weather patterns, as a result of climate change, is a key issue that we will all have to address. The change in approach to how we manage rainfall, to create more climate change resilient urban environments, will be critical to our success.
The proposed changes will be designed to provide benefits to the local community, and where appropriate, opportunities will be taken to:
- Support health and wellbeing
- Provide informal play opportunity
- Attract desirable wildlife
- Reduce flood risk
- Adapt urban development to minimise impact of climate change
The following areas are currently being considered for the development of Rainscapes within the River Dodder Catchment –
Herbert Cottages, Ballsbridge; Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge; Eglington Road, Donnybrook, Milltown Road, Dartry
Why your views matter
The aim of this Consultation is to obtain the views of the community on the enhancement of public spaces and the use of rainscapes in improving the local environment.
What happens next
Thankyou for your comments and for completing the questionaire.
We will review all inputs and observations and incorporate these in the final design proposals were possible.
