This Council Committee calls on the Manager to give a report outlining the financial costs last year in clean up bills in this area following Halloween and outline what new measures or approaches he intends to take this year to reduce the environmental and social cost of many of these unwanted activities.
"That the Manager outline the regulations that exist governing the use of contractors and Council staff in the Tallaght area carrying out drainage works or other activities with regard to damage being caused to existing open spaces which had been maintained by the Council or residents groups"
That this Committee deplores the littered state of many of the laneways in the Dublin 12 area of the County, many of which have served as the location for significant acts of 'fly-tipping' in recent months and years; that the Committee seeks further resourcing of the litter warden and inspection services with regard to this dangerous and antisocial practice; and that the Committee asks the Manager to prepare a report on the possibility of a Community Employment or other scheme which would engage local people in laneway cleaning and upkeep as an addition to the existing environmental services.
That the Manager outlines the savings to the Council in the Tallaght area through the removal of weekend bin collections when bank holidays occur.
This Council Committee calls on the Manager to investigate the possibility of establishing a pilot scheme in the Tallaght Committee area for recycling and returning to residents surplus green waste, chippings and other biodegradable materials for use in gardening and local landscaping in the area.
That this Committee calls on the Manager to provide the necessary resources both financial and manpower to enable Halloween anti-bonfire collections to be carried out for communities as in previous years. This service should be particularly provided on the Saturday of Halloween.
