"To ask the Chief Executive to begin preparations for limiting anti-social behaviour at Halloween. Whitechurch estate has a large & dangerous bonfire every year on the little green facing the church.  The Council refused to move it last year as the wood and rubbish was built into a tower - however, the debris should be moved well beforehand. Residents have suggested an official bonfire, that all residents could attend - a Garda presence would deter anti-social behaviour?"

That this area committee calls for a report on the suitability of the green field bordered by Homelawns Villas and the Seskin View Rd and to the rear of The Crescent Millbrook Lawns and Homelawns Rd for use as allotments or a community garden.

This would enable the productive use of a strip of land that is generally unused with limited potential due to its narrowness and proximity to existing back gardens.
