To ask the Manager when will the work as set out in my motion and passed by this Committee in October 2009 be carried out? Motion reads as follows: “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”? This motion was agreed by this Committee in October 2009 to be implemented. Residents live in fear at the lack of security to the rear of their homes and this Councillor contends that a private developer would not get away with the condition that this boundary has been left following publicly funded works.
To ask the Manager for a progress report on the Council's investigation, including consultation with An Garda Síochana, to provide an alternative taxi rank/ taxi waiting arrangements in Lucan Village which eliminates the inconvenience and annoyance presently experienced by residents, and does not interfere with the existing pay parking scheme in any way which would damage the retail and other businesses in the village?
