Tree Maintenance Update
Motions
That the Chief Executive install autism friendly communication boards in the parks in the Lucan/Palmerstown/Fonthill LEA to help children with ASD to enjoy the parks and facilities. (see attached image from Wexford County Council)
As we continue to design and implement cycle ways / lanes in our county including the Lucan, Adamstown, Grange castle and newer developments in Clonburris, we have seen evidence of an increase in cycling and more recently during lockdown due to covid restrictions, Cycling has become a preferred mode of transport to public transport.
The cleansing of cycle lanes has become a challenge. Removal of debris, broken glass, damaged shores, overgrown briars, damage from burnt out vehicles etc is a regular request received from the public including cyclists and in some instances removing cyclists from our cycle lanes for some time.
This committee requests that the Chief Executive introduce a cycle lane cleansing schedule programme, similar to the road sweeping programme. To also include a report on the machinery currently owned by the council to cleanse the cycle lanes, how many per area, and when we last invested in new machinery.

Housing
Questions
That the Chief Executive pay special attention to finally fixing the problems at address supplied in one fell swoop or prioritising alternative accommodation in a newer dwelling as the resident has suffered serious maintenance issues over many years that and delayed/intermittent repairs have led to other problems with the bathroom and kitchen with current issues including rotting timber and foul smells still remaining in the premises.
To ask the Chief Executive if the Housing Maintenance will reassess the communications between maintenance contractors/staff and tenants in this Area Committee area as there have been multiple incidences reported to this Councillor of residents requesting a text or an email to indicate when someone is calling, but claiming to have received no notification in advance and as a result they are out when maintenance arrives, which delays works being carried out for weeks or months; if it is possible to have a dual verification system where the resident must equally respond positively that they will be at the home; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

Questions

To ask the Chief Executive Officer if the (7) new houses at the bottom of Palmerstown Ave can be named and numbered "1 to 7" Palmerstown Ave (There are 6 spare numbers at present so it would be necessary to have a 1 and 1A. The proposal to name them "Red Cow" is confusing as there are already Red Cow Cottages the other side of the R148 and it would also create an unnecessary distinction between the current houses on the Ave and these 7 which ae simply a continuation.
To ask the Chief Executive Officer further to recent Adamstown SDZ quarterly report can an update be given on the plans for Adamstown Train Station, and the district centre that is proposed for there. Will the district centre include parking for those wishing to park and go on the train, and in the interim what improvements are planned in relation to park and ride facilities associated with the train station, also cycle lanes to the Station, and also when is it planned to open Adamstown Boulevard as far as the "Old Tandy's Lane" so that residents from Shackleton and Hallwell can walk to the train station and does the Council Planning Department liaise with Irish Rail on these matters?
