That the Manager writes to the ESB to request the allocation of funding to remove pylons through housing estates in Clondalkin.

That this Committee calls on the Council to initiate the process for conducting a plebiscite (as per my motion of 21/02/06) to determine a single spelling for PALMERSTOWN as its sometimes spelt - by this Council - as PALMERSTON (which is not recognised as accurate by the local community).  This is leading to a lack of respect for a Council that cannot get such a fundamental issue as a place name correct or even be consistent.

• M3 Plebicite

To ask the Manager to remove the plinths and bollards on New Road, Clondalkin, adjacent to the entrance to the Church of the Immaculate Conception?

• Q. 9

To ask the Manager to provide an update as to the provision of pedestrian lights on Griffeen Road and Griffeen Avenue Junction. This is to provide a safe crossing for parents and children attending Griffeen Educate Together School at what has now become a busy road due to the increased traffic from the Outer Ring Road. This was originally requested in  January  2006.

 

• Q. 10

To ask the Manager to carry out a survey of all road signs in Hillcrest Estate Lucan. A number of these are missing in particular Hillcrest Grove. This is now a serious security problem as residents have encountered people calling late at night to their homes requesting assistance as to what road they are on and looking for directions?

 

• Q.11

To ask the Manager to request the ESB to examine all Public Lighting on the Lucan Main Road from the Statoil Station to the Woodies roundabout. Faults here have been reported by me on three occasions since November 2006. Each time the lights have been repaired only for them to shut off again after a two week period. The ESB must know where the fault lies, if they can detect problems each time the lights out are reported.

• M. 9

That South Dublin County Council carry out a survey of the back lane network in Palmerstown with a view to securing them in such a manner that they will no longer be available for illegal dumping and/or for unsocial activities.  The present situation is a source of ongoing and severe trauma for adjacent residents as well as a drain on scarce Council and Garda resources and frustrating for the whole Community.
