“That this Committee call on South Dublin County Council to place additional litter bins to assist Tidy Towns Clondalkin in the reduction of waste pollution in the area. Suggested black spots include outside South Dublin County Council Clondalkin Civic Offices and Clondalkin Main Street “
Clondalkin Tidy Towns aim is to generate awareness, co-operation and enthusiasm amongst the people of Clondalkin in a concerted effort to enhance the natural, historic and built environment of the village. As a local authority, having a particular black spot at the entrance to our civic building, does not support the enhancement of pride and morale in the community in setting high standards we aspire to. I call on the Chief Executive to examine the situation in view of placing additional measures to improve waste management locally.

County Development Plan Review
"To ask the Chief Executive, having regard to the change of policy, that you review the call made by me for “Children at Play” signs to be erected along Ballytore Road. You might recall that you agreed to do this work but sought payment. The residents refused to pay citing the payment by them of property tax?"
"To ask the Chief Executive why it is that the works scheduled for October at the entrance to Willbrook Lawn have still not commenced. Please also confirm whether or not the works will be done before year end?"
"To ask the Chief Executive what plans SDCC have for providing homeless accommodation in the Rathfarnham area, specifically in the Fonthill area. What type of accommodation is being planned and can the Chief Executive give assurances that there will be consultation with residents and proper management of the facility?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to inspect the boundary wall abutting Templeroan Road and the Templeroan housing estate. The wall shows signs of cracks and looks to the untrained eye somewhat unstable. Assuming the wall is unsound can you provide an estimate for the reconstructions, along with confirmation as to who is responsible for such costs?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide steps from Woodview (Spider’s Hill) up to Dodder Park Road. I have attached to this a mock-up of how the steps would look. Please consider and revert?"

"To ask the Chief Executive to assess a leak seeping from the old wall across the footpath at Church Lane, this is the path used by the residents of Woodview Cottages, a high percentage of these residents are elderly, this leak once it freezes over is dangerous and necessities people dismounting the path and to do so is dangerous along this stretch?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to inspect and repair the broken laneways in the Butterfield and Marian areas of Rathfarnham. There are many elderly residents who use these laneways to access the shops and Church yet find it extremely treacherous because of the broken surfaces. It also causes issues for people with limited mobility as the broken surfaces are unsuitable for residents using walking sticks?"
"To ask the Chief Executive what is the up to date position with the Rosemount Shopping Centre parking proposals?"
"To ask the Chief Executive what is the longterm plan for the lands on St. Colmcilles Way where Knocklyon United have their club ground?"
"That the Chief Executive investigates the possibility of renting two properties -
163 Ballyboden Road & no 3 Taylor's Lane - in Rathfarnham under the RAS scheme to help with the homelessness crisis in the County."
"That the Chief Executive attend on site and witness for himself the potentially dangerous consequence of cars parking along the bend on the road on Butterfield Close, with cars having to drive on the other side of the road to overtake parked cars when travelling from the Butterfield Park area. This issue has been raised before without a satisfactory result. It may be the case that there are no cars parked on the left during the day but cars are parked constantly on the bend in the evenings and at the weekends. Double yellow lines would seem like a solution."
"That the Chief Executive consider increasing the number of zebra crossings especially around areas where you have a high footfall such as shopping centres, schools and churches. The age profile of the people in our area are either older/senior people or parents with young children. I am specifically referring to Rathfarnham Shopping Centre where I have had both older people and parents with young children describe how difficult it is for them to cross from Fairways over to Rathfarnham Shopping Centre. It is accepted that there is a limit on the budget for speed controls/traffic management but one solution which would not cost too much is zebra crossings. I would like for you to perhaps use this motion to provide an insight for all Councillors, into the various traffic management solutions and the costs associated with each. Please consider and report back."
