"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to carry out remedial works on the surface of the laneway and the strip of tarmac behind the old Castletymon Library building. The laneway surface is now in a dangerous condition and poses a trip hazard to pedestrians and the strip of tarmac at the rear of the building which traverses the two footpaths is overflowing with dumped rubbish, constantly flooded and fills with mud, making passageway to the shopping centre hazardous for the public."
"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to locate a dog park on the grounds between Russell Square and Fortunestown Shops. This area was being used for that purpose by residents who actively looked after the area, removed illegal dumping, stopped anti-social behaviour and put out fires that were lit on the space. They also opened and locked the gate while using the area until the lock was changed on the gate. Since the change of lock, it is now being used as a dumping ground."
"That this Committee welcomes the recent works to footpaths in the St Maelruans Estate Tallaght. However, the footpaths that are used to traverse the green spaces in the estate are still in pretty bad condition. This Committee calls on the Chief Executive to arrange to have these paths inspected and further calls on the Chief Executive to arrange to have repair works carried out."
"That this Committee notes a commitment that was made at the May Area Committee that the entrance to the cycleway and walkway at Seskin View Road will be modified to prevent access to the park by motorbikes and quads. As of yet these works have not been carried out. This Committee calls on the Chief Executive to provide a report outlining when these works will take place."
