CONSTITUTION HILL IS NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS IT SHOULD BE

Constitution Hill might be an historic area with some historic and important buildings but it is at best a bleak an unattractive area because of a badly maintained block of flats.

In March 2016 residents of the flat complex on constitution hill launched a series of protest claiming that the new Luas Tram Extension Project would block an existing access to the complex and that the reopening of a previous entry point would prevent emergence vehicles from accessing the flats. It is now September 2020 and work at the Tram Stop [Broadstone Plaza and Grangegorman Gate] is still ongoing.

In April 2018 is was admitted by the City Council that twenty one of the ninety flats were sealed up and vacant. I do not know if anY action has been undertaken since then.

STREET ART AT CONSTITUTION HILL FLATS IN DUBLIN 7

Currently Dublin City Council are planning to refurbish, redevelop and enhance some of the 240 housing complexes across the city. There are 88 homes including bedsits in the Constitution Hill flat complex and there is a plan is for 100 homes at the site.

A new pedestrian/cyclist link between Grangegorman and Constitution Hill was officially opened in November. This link in its current format is temporary until site development in that area is completed. The initial opening hours for the link are Monday – Friday, from 7am – 4pm and on Saturdays, from 7.30am – 2pm. I have been advised by the Grangegorman Development Agency that it intends to expand these opening hours soon.
