CITY COUNCIL PROCESS
If the Council is exploring a project on your street, Greening Stoneybatter team members will be in touch at the early feasibility stage.

Our process involves detailed consultation with the residents affected and assessment of how the proposals will fit within your street. The Council’s consultations take on board everybody’s opinion to propose plans that try meet resident’s needs.

Those involved aim to develop as many projects as we can in the coming years, in partnership with the local community, so will both myself and the Greening Stoneybatter team will be in touch in due course to arrange detailed local consultation on a street-by-street basis.
