Motions
This Committee requests that the Council consider providing new kerbs and the planting of new trees to prevent cars parking and in some cases driving on the green at Muckross Grove, Perrystown. Unfortunately this has become an increasing problem with trees and kerbs damaged.
That this committee calls on the manager to examine the possibility of granting the request from the Dublin Athletic Board and Rathfarnham WSAF A C to establish a dedicated 1500m grass running track in Tymon Park North.
That trees be planted at St. Patrick's Road, Dublin 12 to replace the trees which were cut down, and to restore the general appearance of the road, given the value of street trees in the urban environment.
That this committee calls on the manager at the behest of OPTRA residents association to install another bench on Orwell Park Green in the vicinity of the area marked with a red x on the attached map facing the Dublin mountains. And that they turn the current bench around so that it is also facing the Dublin mountains
That this Council considers installing a Pizza box bin as per the attached photo, beside the existing bin, at the seating area on the Main Street in Rathfarnham Village. These are present in other local authority areas and are effective in preventing littering.

Motions
This ACM again notes with significant concern the continued vacancy of the completed units at Loreto Gate, Grange Road in Rathfarnham, that the Housing Director writes to the approved housing body requesting a full statement outlining when tenants will move in and the actions and timeline to date by this approved housing body in acquiring this development, this Committee is also concerned with the reputational damage being done to SDCC as there is a perception that responsibility lies with SDCC
That this Council confirms that the apartments at Loreto Gate are in the process of being allocated and will be occupied soon, with an indicative timescale for such occupation, as they have been empty for far too long, particularly when housing is so badly needed

To ask that the manager arranges an inspection and re-doing of the cycle track/pedestrian markings outside St Colmcille's Community School and along Scholarstown Road approaching the school.
That the Manager have the small round object removed from the Disabled parking bay at Rosemount S/C carpark. A local resident tripped on the round object while walking from Mass to the carpark. The Lady was badly hurt from the trip. The object should be removed as its dangerous.
That the temporary seating at the Main Street in Rathfarnham Village be removed and replaced with seating similar to that provided at Capel Street, as per attached photos, as the current seating arrangement is resulting in a very significant littering problem and is not universally accessible.
That this Council reinstates the kerb at the green at Muckross Grove in Perrystown to prevent the green area, where children play, being used as a car park.
