Further to discussions around the introduction of Sign Language classes in the Lucan area, that this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive to look at how SDCC could play a role in assisting with this initiative. Sign language is been more commonly used in community groups such as park runs, this is been widely used in park runs in the UK.
That this Area Committee, on behalf of the 142nd Esker Troop in Lucan, find a permanent home for this scout group.
They are facing multiple issues constantly. Their main issues are not being able to store equipment, hold events for our youth members, and at present they can only secure a venue for no more than a one year rental contract. They are a growing troop of 30 Beavers scouts aged 6 to 9. 32 Cub scouts aged 9 to 12. 24 Scouts aged 12 -15. 15 Venture scouts aged 15 -17 and 5 Rover scouts aged 18 plus as well as 16 Scout leaders. They also have a huge waiting list which is as good as closed due to our above issues .
They would greatly appreciate any help that you could give to us in sourcing a more permanent venue or ideally a site where we could build our own Den.
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the swimming pool for Lucan including commencement date?"
That this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive to write to Irish Water requesting a report on the variance between hard water & soft water, to include what percentage of hard water and soft is been supplied to the Lucan area. Also, to advise what complaints Irish Water have received directly from the public and what were the most common complaints. To ask Irish Water to comment on the possibility of carrying out a leaflet drop in the Lucan area, although they are not legally obliged to carry out this function, could Irish Water agree to this considering the amount of issues, concerns and complaints received via local representatives and members of the public.
That this Area Committee request the removal of the hedging between Earlsfort Park, Rochfort Park and Coldhurst as requested by the residents. Anti social behaviour and drug taking is a regular occurrence at this hedging and the residents feel the removal will inhibit this behaviour.
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update in relation to the agreed electric gates to be installed at these two locations: Griffeen Parks (Newcastle Road/Haydens Lane) including expected installation?"
"To ask the Chief Executive if the tree at the back of 1 Earlsfort Road could be pruned back as it's blocking light and is hanging over the wall of the residents home?"
That this Area Committee, further to motions I’ve raised in relation to the ‘bottle bank’ placed on Griffeen Road (at entrance to embankment) request that the ‘bottle bank’ be removed/relocated. This request comes on foot of requests from the many residents living in close proximity to the ‘bottle bank’ and also on foot of email/photos received regarding the ongoing issues experienced at this ‘bottle bank’.
Email received from resident:
“Hi Leona,
Please find attached photos graphs for the past few Sunday mornings, over the past 3 weeks. You can see that rubbish is being rear of bottle bank, from beds, to paints to general house hold rubbish. Also, late in the evenings you can witness many cars pulling up late at night (9:30 - 12 midnight), after dark. It is being used as a meeting point to deal drugs. I can't imagine that there would be much opposition to remove bottle bank completely. It would not cost the council to remove bottle bank completely, as i'm sure its an expensive exercise cleaning up the area every Monday morning. Let me know if you wish to discuss further,”
