"To ask the Manager to provide feedback as to the progress made by the Council since receipt by a Resident of the following request for service. This request was received over 2 years ago and remains outstanding. I have copied the seminal point as follows: “ could you please re-paint the Stop lines at the Butterfield Drive/Crescent junction. These lines have not been re-painted for years , and have been tarmac-ed not so long ago, but the obscured lines were not re-painted then, or since. Due to parked cars on both of the above roads, visibility at this junction is restricted to the point where there have been many 'near misses', due to drivers ignoring the Stop signs and lines (I was 'near-missed' twice recently). The Stop signs here are badly in need of a coat of paint”. It appears that that request was send through and acknowledged by SDCC on or about the 11th of February 2011 and still remains unresolved. Inaction or inefficiencies like this will not be tolerated in the current climate of tax payers having to pay property tax?"
Garda Report
County Manager's Report
That the Manager provide a full reply as to the status of the property on St. Patricks Rd. Clondalkin in view of ongoing difficulties.
"That the Manager provide details of the number of dog fouling bins in the Rathfarnham ward. Please also confirm the number of dog licences issued in the ward. That the Manager provide this Committee with details of the cost of individual bins and whether or not there is a provision in any Department’s budget for the inclusion of extra bins going forward. Is it possible to micro-chip such bins to allow for efficient emptying of such bins? I would ask that as part of the Tidy-Towns Initiative currently underway within the County that there be provision made for extra bins to adequately cater for dog deposits. Currently what you have are law-abiding citizens collecting their dog poop in plastic (biodegradable) bags and some of those same citizens being forced to dump their dog’s deposit in the bushes of our parks and streets because of the inadequacy of bins. I would ask that Management from across all department including Parks, Roads & Environmental Services to provide a joined up approach to this issue, assuming of course that such an approach does not already exist."
