That this Committee requests the Manager to arrange the cleaning of the footbridge at Tay Lane to Rathcoole.

Water gathers at the centre of the bridge and various other points, making it impossible to cross without having to step into pools of water, which will no doubt freeze over in the winter if you get a combination of rain and frost.

  • The bridge is filthy, full of slippery moss, dead leaves, cans, paper etc
  • Also some street lighting to be installed down Tay lane at the Rathcoole end, and along the bridge as it is very dark at night.
  • removal of illegally dumped hedge trimmings between the Naas Road and the boundary B&B at Tay Lane (Rathcoole end)
