Motions
"In view of the serious amount illegal dumping that is taking place on waste ground behind Kilmartin Avenue at the junction of Cheeverstown Road and Katherine Tynan Road, that the Council would consider giving this land over to the community.
If given over to the local community it could be used as a walled community garden comprising of allotments and raised beds for fruit and vegetables and more importantly Community spirit and a sense of pride in their location and Council area.
By allowing ownership for a period of time to the community it could become a strong preventive measure for what has become very costly, illegal dumping."
