"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to report on when the roads in the vicinity of the infill housing scheme in Killinarden Estate will be resurfaced as was agreed during the consultation period on the Part 8 Scheme.

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to immediately arrange for the removal of the ESB substation that has been erected outside of 24 Killinarden Estate as part of the infill schme as it is in completely unprotected, free standing and not built into a wall which is general practice. As a result of this it is prone to being damaged by a car which could put the lives of local residents at risk. This Committee furthermore calls on the Chief Executive to arrange for the removal of the  Laneway which was CREATED by the building of the new houses and which was not part of the plans. The creation of this laneway has rightly angered and concerned residents in equal measure as it is felt it will attract anti social behaviour and possible illegal dumping. I raised this matter months ago on behalf of residents and got agreement from Architects that it would be extinguished immediately by taking it into gardens. These works have clearly not commenced yet and this is the reason why I have it on this Agenda to get it resolved on behalf of the residents."

The Motion below was passed last October 2017. To date the works have not been carried out. This Committee calls on the Chief Executive to provide an update when these works will take place.

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to have the trees and shrubs removed at the lane way entrance between the Abberley Court Hotel and Westpark estate. I have received numerous complaints from residents regarding serious anti-social behaviour at this location and they believe if the trees and overgrowth were removed this would stop the problem."
