To ask the Manager to reinstate the concrete columns in Pinewoods, Clondalkin similar to the rest of the wall?  The concrete columns are an eyesore.

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor T. Gilligan
Responsibility:
David Fennell

That this Area Committee requests that the grass verges are fully maintained, tree cutting and other basic services for which residents in the Lucan/Clondalkin areas pay their taxes. If this cannot be pursued on a regular basis, more so in summer as that's usually when the trees / grass become problematic, perhaps some other way must be used to resolve the issue. It's not fair that residents are taking over duties that the Council should service. The Council already saves money as many estates are not taken in charge or some are resolved and paid for via management companies.

Mary O'Shaughnessy

That this Council removes all hoarding and dividers between the land that was to consist of 1600 houses (the Grange, the block of land on the corner of New Nangor Road/Outer Ring Road/south-eastern side; beside Kilcarberry Estate, Clondalkin) as residents are aware that there is still room for development here. Furthermore, that the Council de-zones the land back to recreational amenity and that a deal is done in conjunction with Round Towers GAA so that a GAA pitch is installed here and they can expand their network to new and young members.
