Motions

Mot (1)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Maire Ni Dhomhnaill

That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to make improvement works at the Cherryfield and Beechfield and Cromwellsforth Road areas in Walkinstown relating to tree maintenance works. Many of the roadsides have had trees removed with very tall, unsightly stumps left behind, with some blocking private residents entrances. On other roads, the stumps were taken but the verge has been left in an awful state and no trees replanted. On the Cromwellsforth Road, trees were removed and not replaced which has left the area looking much less cared for than the Dublin City Council side of the road and has encouraged illegal parking.

 

Mot (2)
Submitted by:
Councillor E. Murphy
Responsibility:
Maire Ni Dhomhnaill

That the Chief Executive agrees to the addition of the remainder of Whitechurch estate be added to the current tree maintenance Programme. 

 

 

Mot (3)
Submitted by:
Councillor D. O'Donovan
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

That the Chief Executive includes the necessary works to replace the footpath across the green in Westbourne Lodge in the Works Programme for 2020. There is a good path at either end of it but the section across the grass is old tarmac which is breaking up and being reclaimed by the green. 

 

Mot (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Kearns
Responsibility:
Suzanne Furlong

That this committee calls on the manager for an update on the timeframe for the resurfacing on the Playground at the Wellington lane side of Tymon park and for the installation of the wheelchair friendly trampoline and roundabout. 

 

 

Mot (5)
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Kearns
Responsibility:
Maire Ni Dhomhnaill

That this committee calls on the manger to address the ongoing maintenance issues with the Orwell roundabout and takes on board the suggestions made several months ago in relation to it's redesign.

 

 

Mot (6)
Submitted by:
Councillor Y. Collins
Responsibility:
Maire Ni Dhomhnaill

That the Chief Executive replace the trees which were cut down some years ago on the south side of Cromwellsfort Road, as the removal of these trees, quite apart from the environmental issue which is a serious concern, has also led to an increase in illegal parking in the area. Cars and vans are parking on the footpaths and this obstructs the pathway for buggies and wheelchair users, as well as making it more difficult and dangerous for residents to exit their homes due to impaired visibility.
