To ask the Manager for an update on Nos 2 and 4 Lealand Walk.
That this Committee supports development of a scheme to facilitate the transfer of small portions of Council lands that;
- Have become hot spots for illegal dumping
- Have become hot spots for anti social behaviour
- Have become badly overgrown with trees & shrubs
- Are no longer accessible to Council staff or the general public
- Have little or no commercial value
The scheme could include an opinion from estate management on the issues outlined above with respect to a specific piece of land; a commitment from the applicant to cover the costs of any construction work arising from the transfer; a commitment from the council to dispose of the land for a nominal fee and to waive legal costs.
In light of the significant work carried out by volunteers of the St Marks Community Garden and the hugely positive impact of this project on an area that was previously a hot spot for illegal dumping an anti social behaviour the Clondalkin Area Committee calls on the Manager to support this valuable project by providing a wheelchair accessible ramp at the entrance to the garden and a small amount of concrete slabs & paving inside the garden the purpose of which is to further enhance this important local amenity.
In light of the high level of anti social behaviour and poor state of the roads, paths and bollards at the junction of St Marks Avenue and Grove the Clondalkin Area Committee calls on the Manager to bring forward a plan to deal with the following problems:
- repair or replacement of the bollards at this junction
- repair damage to the road and path surface at both sides of the junction
The plan, which should involve consultation with those residents who live immediately at the junction, should also explore possibility of enhanced street lighting at the junction.
"That this Committee calls on the Manager to compliment and enhance the initiative "FIX-MY-STREET" and to consider development of an app for smartphones that allows Tallaght residents report problems directly to the Council"
"That the Manager - in recognising the ownership and therefore the responsibility of the Council over the laneway at the rear of Willbrook Park - takes steps to prepare a schedule of regular cleanups and maintenance of this lane way - which has become overgrown; fox-ridden and unsightly; that the Manager outline such a schedule to this Committee - and that this schedule of maintenance be followed until such time as the community aspect of the laneway is finalised to the satisfaction of the local residents and to the members of this Committee - who, for a number of years now have supported the right of the residents to access over this section of the laneway to develop a community garden dimension to the area."
"That the Manager arrange for the Environmental Health Officer to visit the laneway to the rear of Willbrook Park (prior to the Nov. RAC Meeting) and prepare a report for members concerning the state of the laneway from a health and safety viewpoint - particularly with regard to the presence of foxes and rodents - and for the Manager to outline their response to the state of the laneway pending the transfer of its care to local residents - as agreed in several motions to this Committee over a period of more than five years."
Following the review of the Councils Playground Programme can the Manager provide a list of potential sites, with costings, regarding the construction of proposed smaller localised Playground facilities?
"That this Committee commit to the provision of a Skate/BMX Park for the Tallaght area."
"To ask the Manager to outline the priority list of estates in respect of traffic calming measures and to outline what plans the Roads Department has to carry out these measures in the forseeable future; and failing the implementation of traffic calming in specific estates what recourse to other measures do residents have (for example in Prospect Manor estate?)"
To ask the Manager to comment on the process for clearing out storm drains and culverts during the autumn season in light of the leaf fall from trees. Could the Manager also comment on how this process might be improved to prevent drain obstructions during periods of heavy rain?
"Can the Manager confirm what the status of the Barton Road reservation is in terms of the Development Plan, i.e. is it still an objective to have the road completed to Nutgrove area?"
Proposal for a pathway at Belgard Heights open space
Proposal for a pathway to LUAS Cookstown at Cairnwood open space
"That the Manager spend a morning (8.15-9am) and afternoon (2.15-3pm) at the junction of Tara Hill estate and Grange Road and in StonePark Abbey Estate in Rathfarnham to monitor and report back to this Committee as to whether he/she is satisfied with traffic management in these areas and particularly the (i) safety of children and (ii) ability of residents to move freely into and out of their estates and to present a report on how significant issues relating to traffic movements at school drop off points can be addressed."
