To ask the Council to provide more bins or bigger bins or a more frequent collection service to cope with the amount of rubbish being discarded in our parks and public areas

 

Mot (13)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

That this local area committee requests an audit in relation to public lighting in Greenhills Park, especially around and near to the laneways, including St. Brendan's Crescent for example as well as improved lighting up to the Community centre. That public lighting would be installed where the audit finds that this would improve visibility and safety. I have also requested a biodiversity plan for this park, and I fully appreciate the need to be mindful of the habitats living there. I have been contacted by a lot of residents with safety concerns. A recent approach to two young teenagers has re-engaged requests for public lighting for this park and outer areas. I believe a balance can be struck. I would refer management to consider the findings of the recent safety audit carried out in Clondalkin and presented to the JPC.
