The children in St. Bernadette's School, Quarryvale spent a most enjoyable day in Corkagh Park as part of their St. Brigid's Day / First day of Spring celebrations and they had a great time in the farm and in the playground. Congratulations and thanks to all the park staff.

That this Area Committee recognises the benefits of the work done by the North Clondalkin and South West Clondalkin Community Safety Fora and requests that the Manager conveys the views of the Committee in this regard to the Minister of State, Jan O'Sullivan, T.D. with special responsibility for Housing and Planning (Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government) and requests that she would find alternative funding to enable the fora to continue their excellent work which has empowered the communities which they serve.

Following on from our motions and question of last month that the Manager would present a report on what has happened since then on the enforcement of the regulations with regard to trading from the street in Main Street, Clondalkin. Could particular regard be given to the following issues:-
1. Items for sale, particularly clothing, being hung from the shop fronts
2. Items for sale being displayed on the pavement
3. Shopkeepers seated on the public pavement in order to keep an eye on goods displayed on the public pavement
Are these practices in contravention of the regulations and if so, why are they being tolerated on an ongoing basis?

That the Manager could present a report on the problem of bags of rubbish being left beside litterbins. This happens on a regular basis in certain locations in the Clondalkin area. One is at the bin at the junction of Woodford Villas and Woodford Walk where regularly on a Sunday night bags are placed beside the bins and the contents soon end up scattered to the distress of law abiding residents. Another bin which frequently has bags placed beside it is the one opposite Tesco on Convent Road. The bins on the canal path near the Ninth Lock are being similarly abused. All these locations have cctv of some kind in operation. Is this being used to try to catch the culprits? What plan has the Manager to address this growing problem?

That the Manager presents a report on the operation of the cctv system on the green route canal path. Does it indicate a significant problem of antisocial behaviour on the green route and if so how is this problem addressed.
That the Manager presents a report on the red speed ramps in the Clondalkin area. Some of them have eroded and are as a result in a dangerous condition. This has been referred to me particularly in relation to the Woodford area. Would this erosion indicate that the design and materials used were unsuitable?

That the Manager would engage in a public information campaign for waiver customers in the Clondalkin Area to inform them that they will shortly have to pay for waste collection and should be researching what is on offer by the various providers. Many waiver customers are unaware that they will soon have to pay for refuse collection. They need to be informed of this. When the Council got out of refuse collection many residents went with Greyhound automatically and were tied in for the year because of the annual charge. For many customers the Greyhound package is not the best one for them. The issue of pay by weight is one factor. Also, other operators offer small bins which incur only half the annual charge. This might suit many older waiver customers. Another provider offers a glass collection and charges no annual charge. It is incumbent upon the Council to ensure that their waiver customers are given the information they need in plenty of time to make an informed decision.
That the Manager would report on the issue of graffiti in the Clondalkin area. Is the problem on the increase? What is the procedure for getting graffiti removed? I have reported and requested the removal of graffiti from the railway bridges in Clondalkin, particularly from the bridge between the Neilstown Road and Cappaghmore. This is particularly bad. Why has it not been removed? Also in my opinion the finish on this and on the Fonthill Road railway bridge make them much more likely to be defaced by graffiti. Could a stone facing be added? This would make the bridges far more attractive and less likely to be defaced by graffiti.
