That this Area Committee calls on the Council to reconsider its position on the culverting of the Whitestown Stream between Cloonmore Road and the N81. This section of the Stream has now become an open sewer with domestic waste, stable waste, drug paraphernalia and stolen cars. It would mean the removal of what has become the most vandalised bridge in South Dublin and in its place we could have a fenced in tree lined linear park that could really enhance a community space between the estates of Cloonmore, Dromcarra and Bawnlea.
