Transcript - Part 5

(Graphic animation: A signpost appears with the word 'Feedback' written on it.)

Narrator: When it comes to deciding how our city should develop, every citizen's opinion is important.

Narrator: In preparing the draft plan, the Council has already received views from communities, councillors and special interest groups through written submissions, meetings and online discussions. That feedback was reviewed and has helped shape this draft, with its vision of a Sustainable Dublin in 2030. Now we're inviting you to discuss and comment on the vision, the priorities and objectives of the plan. Submissions or observations are being accepted until Friday, the 12th March. You'll find print copies in your local library, or you can get your own copy by contacting Dublin City Council's Civic Offices in Wood Quay.

Narrator: You can read summaries of the plan on the website www.dublincitydevelopmentplan.ie. Here you can also join in online discussions and for the first time provide a written submission using our online form.

Narrator: In 2010, Dublin City is moving forward, making progress towards a smart economy and a new, sustainable future. By having your say now, you can help shape that future, and plan a better city; better for him, better for her, better for them, and better for you.

(Video ends with graphic animation of the Draft Development Plan logo.)

The draft Development Plan outlines a vision for the future of Dublin. That vision is of a sustainable, low-carbon emission city that offers an attractive, diverse quality of life to all its residents.

The closing date for receipt of submissions on the Draft Development Plan was Friday, March 12th. We'd like to thank everyone who got involved in the discussion and especially those who posted replies or made submissions about the plan.

The next step is the preparation of a report on the submissions/observations received. This will be submitted to members of the City Council who will consider it until mid-August 2010. Any material amendments agreed to the Draft Plan will then be put on public display for four weeks. It is envisaged that this display will take place during September.
