Amend Section 2.3.12.i Policy WD5: Water Quality Management Plans
That this Committee thanks the Manager for agreeing to my request for an on-site meeting in Lucan to discuss litter problems; and as a follow-up this Committee recommends that a permanent hand-cart service be introduced in the Lucan South area with a primary focus on the areas and roads nearest to the Ballyowen Castle local centre but also covering nearby areas such as Griffeen, Foxborough etc. This hand-cart service would be of significant benefit in assisting efforts to address the very serious and highly-visible litter problems blighting some of these areas and in particular would be of advantage in allowing for more regular removal of litter from landscaped areas not subject to the regular street-sweeping rota. While accepting the current limitations imposed by both the ongoing public service recruitment embargo and the financial constraints facing local authorities, this committee nonetheless requests the Manager to draw-up detailed proposals for such a permanent hand-cart service to be introduced as soon as funding allows.
