Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor M. Murphy, Councillor B. Leech, Councillor K. Mahon
Responsibility:
A//Director of Housing, Social & Community Development

“ Management have reported in the “South Dublin County Council Rent Scheme 2018” report that , “ A €10 per household discount applies to dwellings where occupants are 65 years and above.  The discount will no longer apply with effect from 31/12/18.”

This represents a retrograde step in the existing rent differential scheme.  Members note that this has been taken by executive decision and call on Management to reverse their decision to end this provision.

Councillors will not note report and oppose any attempt to pursue arrears arising through non-payment or inability to pay this increase, or any attempts to subsequently diminish local authority services to tenants based on non- payment or inability to pay this increase. 

Given alternative options open to South Dublin County Council to raise funds through rates and the necessity for substantial funding for Local Authority Housing, management should withdraw this decision."

There has been a noticeable reduction in street light levels in certain locations since the introduction of the new energy efficient LED Public Street Lighting. These reduced light levels will have positive environmental impacts however they may have negative security and safety impacts as well. 

That this committee requests the Chief Executive to review the recently installed new energy efficient LED Public Street Lighting within housing estates, considering any feedback received to date and to examine their effectiveness both from an environmental and safety perspective.  The review should also consider the effectiveness of replacing street lights like for like and if additional lamp posts or modified lamps posts should be installed in certain locations.  The direction of the new LEDS and amount of LEDS on each LED housing should also be considered in the review.
