Motions
This committee requests that the possibility of using mobile CCTV to monitor dumping and ant-social behaviour on the laneway network in Palmerstown be investigated and introduced as a pilot project for other parts of the county.
This committee raises the issue of allotment owners receiving notice to vacate their allotments in the Rathcoole area. Notice was sent via text message by the owners citing the council acquiring the land to widen the road. It is now asked that the Chief Executive report on the protocol in place when removing or relocating an allotment. Many of those that had been using this allotment are from the Lucan area and this motion seeks to provide an opportunity to amalgamate a community garden (recently passed motion to place a community garden within the Adamstown area) with an allotment. This will bring an open space amenity into an area that strives such an amenity and will result in increasing the area with environmentally friendly features and bring about additional biodiversity to the area. It is asked that the council engages with the allotment owners to achieve this.
