Motions
This Committee welcomes recent works undertaken by the Council at the pedestrian entrance to Ballyboden Way at Boden Park. This Committee further requests requests that the hawthorn trees / hedging be cut back to fence height so they become part of the normal maintenance work on the hedging carried out in the estate by the council annually.
That the chief executive have the lower branches of the trees opposite houses 40,50 and 52 Anne Devlin Road trimmed back. The branches are blocking the line of sight for pedestrians and motorists leaving Old Orchard Road onto Anne Devlin Road.

Motions
This Committee notes the continued delay in rolling out the Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP) in South Dublin County Council. One effect of the continued delay is the inability to establish new Local Neighbourhood Community Safety Fora as the LCSP needs to be fully established and operational first. When the LCSP is up and running this Committee requests that work is undertaken on the feasibility and establishment of a new Local Neighbourhood Community Safety Fora that would cover the geographical areas of this Area Committee.
Transportation
Questions
That this Council sets out its policy regarding the pruning of hedges planted on private property, but which significantly encroach out onto a public path or roadway.
To request an update from NTA re: timeline for introduction of the long awaited 85 bus route.
Could this area committee be provided with an update on the taking-in-charge of Bolton Park estate, to include details of any administrative or legislative compliance matters which may be causing delays.
