"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on Motion 52911 dated 26/03/2017, where it was agreed that a tender would be sought to erect 1.2 metre high fencing around the green area of Sundale Grove and Russell Lawns. This work has still not been carried out?" |
|||||
"To ask the Chief Executive why the fence has not been erected around Sundale Grove and Russell Lawns given that it went out to Tender in September 2017?"
"Can an undertaking be given by the Council as to when the bollards and boulders be installed at the Carraigmore Playground Carpark. This Playground is open 3 years and yet the carpark is locked and only opened for service vehicles. Why were these safety measures not introduced before the Playground was open. We now have a situation where parents are being clamped when inside the playground with their children. There is no opening or closing time displayed to inform users of the carpark which needs to be addressed. I have informed a parent who was clamped to appeal the clamping fine?"

"That this Tallaght Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to present a report on his efforts to deal with the challenge presented by Halloween activities in Kilnamanagh Estate and in responding will he appreciate the strong concern of the local community that action be taken in respect of the Open Land at the bottom of Treepark Road beyond the Ned Kelly Park which attracts such activity and will he note the clear need to present proposals for the future of the Land and in that regard will he enter into discussions with local stakeholders."

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install kissing gates between the boundary walls and the Luas line in Sheehy Skeffington as a matter of urgency."
"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to immediately arrange for the removal of the ESB substation that has been erected outside of 24 Killinarden Estate as part of the infill schme as it is in completely unprotected, free standing and not built into a wall which is general practice. As a result of this it is prone to being damaged by a car which could put the lives of local residents at risk. This Committee furthermore calls on the Chief Executive to arrange for the removal of the Laneway which was CREATED by the building of the new houses and which was not part of the plans. The creation of this laneway has rightly angered and concerned residents in equal measure as it is felt it will attract anti social behaviour and possible illegal dumping. I raised this matter months ago on behalf of residents and got agreement from Architects that it would be extinguished immediately by taking it into gardens. These works have clearly not commenced yet and this is the reason why I have it on this Agenda to get it resolved on behalf of the residents."
"Can this Council ensure that the AHB Tuath be fully responsible for their obligations to ensure Tallaght Homeless Hub is kept free of all drug paraphanalia for the health and wellbeing of their tenants."
"That this Committee asks the Chief Executive to report on the current emergency call out for families that heating systems breakdown, currently some residents are told it can take up to ten days for call out. This is not acceptable in the current cold climate."
