That a report be presented about the litter problems affecting the Balgaddy estates of Foxdene, Méile an Rí, Búirg an Rí and Tór an Rí, Balgaddy and how they are being tackled.
It is the view of this Committee that this Council, in managing reduced budgets, should make every effort to maintain public areas of the County to an acceptable standard. This Committee is very concerned at the way in which Esker Cemetery, the Median on the N4, Cloverhill Road, to name but a few areas, has been left unattended and allowed to deteriorate over the summer.

That this Committee recommends that South Dublin County Council lays aside monies to widen the footpath from Main Street up to the schools on the Kilteel Road (same side of the road as the schools) and that, in the interests of safety, this proposal be given top priority.
That this Committee is dismayed at the way in which the Council has left both the boundary between the rear gardens of Hollyville, Palmerstown and the surplus ground between the N4 and the rear of these houses as a result of the M50 upgrade and calls on the Manager responsible to provide a proper boundary wall and restore the landscape on the open ground to its original levels. Many of the rear gardens have had their boundary interfered with to the extent that they suffer from both a lack of privacy and a lack of security. It makes no sense to have stopped the new high boundary wall in the middle of a back garden and to leave the rest of the gardens exposed. Secondly, the boulders and rubble that were pushed by the road builders to the edge of residents gardens resulting the creation of an unacceptable difference in levels between the two has also resulted in destabilizing some existing garden walls that had been erected by residents leading to a situation that is totally unacceptable and completely out of line with what one expects where publicly funded works for the common good is involved.
