Do please join us from 18.30 onwards Tuesday, 26th.
This year we are meeting at the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club right in the heart of our neighbourhood. Join us to discuss your and your neighbours concerns, to receive your committee’s reports and to hear from two very different guest speakers:
Leading Irish landscape Architect, Bernard Seymour, will talk about the highly valued trees of our area and what we need to do to protect them.
Community Gardai from Donnybrook Station will discuss crime prevention and trends that we all need to be aware of. They will also be available to answer residents’ questions.
Tea and coffee will be served before at 18.30 and the meeting will commence at 19.00.
Who we are

The Association draws its members from the catchment area of streets, lanes, and squares adjacent to Upper Leeson Street, which extends south from the Grand Canal in Dublin City. The primary aim of the Association is to promote the conservation and preservation of the residential character and amenities of the neighbourhood, including the maintenance of green spaces, as well as the distinctive Georgian and Victorian architectural features of this area of Dublin, and to encourage the development of community life in the area.
The area includes Appian Way, Cambridge Terrace, Clyde Lane, Clyde Road, Dartmouth Lane, Dartmouth Place, Dartmouth Road, Dartmouth Square, Dartmouth Terrace, Dartmouth Walk, Elgin Road, Heytesbury Lane, Leeson Park, Leeson Park Avenue, Mespil Road, Morehampton Lane, Northbrook Lane, Northbrook Road, Pembroke Lane, Pembroke Park, Raglan Lane, Raglan Road, Warner's Lane, Waterloo Lane, Waterloo Road, Wellington Lane, Wellington Place, Wellington Road and Winton Road.

Your Guide to Engaging with Planning
Understanding how to engage with the planning process is important, and we're here to make it easier.
Ulsara has created a straightforward guide, "Making an Objection," to walk you through the essential steps of making an observation and including supporting evidence.
For over 55 years, since 1968, Ulsara has been actively involved in planning to support the well-being of our neighbourhood. This guide is another way we're here to assist you in understanding and participating in the planning decisions that affect our community.
