SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY JOINT POLICING COMMITTEE REPORT
(circulated herewith)
"To ask the Manager that the railings along Stocking Avenue be repainted, it may well be the position that the railings are the responsibility of the Developer here but the railings on the right hand side as you come from Hunters Wood up Stocking Avenue towards Stocking Wood, are these railings within the curtilage of this Council?
Residents also looking to have the extra barriers and green meshing removed? The overall appears of the area is both shoddy and messy as a result. If it is the case that this Council is not so responsible is there any means available to this Council to force the Developer (his servant or agent)?"
"To ask the Manager to assess the halting site off Stocking Avenue. I have a report that the occupiers of the last unit in that development has built on a type of lean-to at the side of his unit. This is not permitted and yet he has still not taken it down or been made to do so. Can you please investigate and report back and if there is found to be unlawful development that the appropriate enforcement action be taken?"
"To ask the Manager when is it intended that the wall at the entrance to Willbrook Lawn which was demolished recently by the Council because of the unsound nature of same is to be replaced. Secondly and following on from my Motion asking the Manager to consider any replacement walls in this area be stonewalls and that there be an overall policy around replacement walls for the area over a period of years?"
"To ask the Manager to outline how the Council is dealing with the anti-Social problems that are being experienced by residents living in the vicinity of Kimmage Manor and what solutions will be put in place to resolve these issues?"
"To ask the Manager for a progress report on the tendering process for works to the entrance of Knockcullen/Elkwood and Ashton estates?"

"That the Manager provide an overall assessment of the growing issue of littering in the Stocking Avenue area of the Ward. That the Manager include in the Report to the Committee how the additional €138,000 released from the Department of the Environment under the Anti-Litter and anti-Graffiti Awareness Grant Scheme is going to be spent by the Council and that some of this funding be earmarked towards tackling the on-going and escalating general littering along Stocking Avenue, with reports of full bin bags of rubbish along with discarded items of household furniture such as dirty mattresses being dumped in the area. This follows an accusation from Residents that the Council take too long to take action and the argument is made that if the Council were to act more efficiently then the area would not be a little black spot. Is it possible to include Stocking Avenue in the weekly regular litter picking/handcart routes?"
"That the Manager report back as to the progress made in relation to allegations of noise pollution since I last tabled a motion with regard to the matter. I have since then sent on to the Council another resident living in Fairways who too complains of unacceptable noise early in the mornings due to out of hours deliveries to Tesco."
"That the Manager update this meeting as to the progress to date with regard to the playspace initiative for the Ward. One suggestion as to a suitable location might be in the new areas of the Rathfarnham Ward, just off Stocking Avenue. Given the varying stages of planning permissions is there a suitable location for such a playspace? In this area you have a high percentage of young couples with very young children and one would expect the level of enthusiasm would be stronger in such areas."
"That the Manager to consider my motion to this Council last month in which I was looking for the walls stretching out from Rathfarnham Village up Willbrook Road, left and right at the fork junction and leading up to St. Enda's park. At the same time there is a walking route up Ballyboden Road and left into Fonthill cutting through to Willbrook Estate, across Whitechurch Road and into St. Enda's park, with various apps for hikers highlighting the areas of historical importance in the area. I am looking to the Manager to report back as to likely sources of funding either from central government or to be ear-marked from within the Council's capital programme, under the Village Initiative Programme or elsewhere."
That the Manager outlines proposals (in conjunction with Waterways Ireland or other bodies if needs be) to address the issue of the blocked drainage between the back of Cappaghmore and the canal
This Committee agrees that the manager should table a report for discussion at the meeting on the outstanding management fees owed by South Dublin County Council to the management company at the Bawnogue shops. The report should include the total amount of monies owed by the Council, the period for which these fees are due and the reason why the Council has not paid the fees. This Committee also agrees that the Council should now make arrangements to pay these outstanding fees as a matter of urgency in order to assist the management company raise the funds for the resurfacing of the carpark which is currently in a very dangerous condition.
To ask the Manager to write to Dublin City Council in relation to traffic lights from the Naas Road, turning right, onto Davitt Road (the canal road) where the luas crosses onto the Naas Road, traffic has been backed up along the Naas Road, as these lights are not letting traffic turn right frequently enough. Can these lights go green more frequently please?

"To ask the Manager to give an upadate on my request last year that the traffic and road signage at Orlagh Grove Roundabout needed to be completely replaced - please replace and erect fresh signage and remove the unused signage posts - the roundabout looks like a joke at the moment?"
