That this Committee, noting with disgust the continuing dereliction of the former McHugh's Shopping Centre in Greenhills, including the recent use of the site as a dumping ground and the further proliferation of graffiti, abhors the lack of progress made by the developer concerned in addressing his neglect of the site. This Committee calls on the Council to pursue those responsible for the neglectful and damaging lack of upkeep of the site through the full vigours of the law. This Committee further believes that, given the community neglect imposed on the residents of Greenhills by this eyesore, any moneys recovered through the Derelict Sites levy should be ringfenced for immediate re-investment in the Greenhills area.

That this Committee calls on the Manager to guarantee that the green at Orwell will not be used as a Christmas tree recycle venue in future years. This year there was damage to the green, tress being dumped onto the road at night and the impression is given that dumping is allowed on the green. The Manager should ensure that a sign is placed on the green in December to inform the public of the new venue and that it is a litter offence to leave a tree on the green. To prevent confusion any illegally dumped trees should be removed immediately.

That this Committee urges not only the urgent removal of bonfire debris and other litter in the area, but the replacement of the wall along the M50 slipway and the use of a stud wall or other measure to stop the smashing of the wall with large wooden spools, as has occurred on a number of previous occasions.
That this Committee calls on the Manager to honour the commitments given to the Orwell Residents Association at their Deputation meeting with the Council and ensure that the vegetation clearance and tree pruning work that was promised to be carried out in November 09 is done this month.
