• Q 4

The litter bye laws for commercial waste state the following:

1.1  Waste containers shall not be on a public footpath or in any other public place.

3.10  A holder...shall remove all waste containers and any uncollected waste from a public place no later than two hours after the designated collection time, unless authorized in writing by the council.

A fast food business in Clondalkin Village, name and address supplied*   has a large green skip type bin permanently placed on the pavement,  It is often overflowing and has in recent weeks attracted a number of litter fines. It's location would appear to be in contravention of the litter bye laws.

This Committee requests that the bye laws as paraphrased above would be enforced in relation to this premises and it's litter bin.

The Minister should be reminded of the very young and growing population in Lucan and the lack of recreational facilities within Lucan compared to other parts of Dublin and the country."

"That this Area Committee, noting the Chief Executives intention to conduct a trial of a mini-roundabout to replace traffic lights at Newcastle Road/ Hillcrest Road junction, requests the Chief Executive to:

• Confirm that a safe crossing point for school children, school warden and mass-goers will be retained on Newcastle Road;

• Outline what surveys have/will be conducted before and during the trial to ascertain any beneficial or adverse impact on traffic flow and queue lengths at each of Newcastle Road and Hillcrest Road;

• Commit to immediately canceling the trial if there is a disproportionate adverse effect on motorists’ ability to exit from Hillcrest estate;

• Conduct a separate analysis of the operation of traffic lights at the N4 overbridge, in tandem with this trial, to examine if further ‘green time’ gains can be achieved to increase the number of cars that can turn right onto the N4 in each cycle;

• Install in 2015 a new UTC/SCOOTS system to provide greater coordination of all sets of traffic lights along Newcastle Road, including those at the Tandy’s Lane/Esker Road junction;

• Review the design of the Supervalu roundabout and examine if Musgraves would be willing to fund works to improve traffic flow at this roundabout;

• Continue to press for a broader range of transport solutions to address traffic congestion in the Newcastle Road area including the proposal for the introduction of a new 25C bus route, to serve the Adamstown/Newcastle Road (including Finnstown, Westbury, Hillcrest, etc) which would access the N4 at Junction 4 (Adamstown) before travelling straight in the N4 to the City Centre."
