That this Committee is seriously concerned about the reduction of staff and services in the Community Sports Complexes at Palmerstown Community School and Collinstown Park Community College and requests the Manager to make a report on the matter.
Recognising the significant inconvenience caused by recent disruptions to bin collections (mainly bank holiday services) for residents in the LEA, that this Committee calls for a solution that ensures that particular areas are not burdened with an unfair share of the disruption.
That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the matter that all grey bins are not being returned to footpaths when emptied, rather they are being left on the roads, as in case in many estates. The practice of not returning grey bins to footpaths by some staff, is not only a source of great annoyance and inconvenience to many residents, including our senior citizens, but is also potentially dangerous as many cars can be seen manoeuvring around grey bins that are left on roads in our estates.
That this Committee requests the Manager to examine the feasibility of establishing voluntary committees, with appropriate community group structures, whose function would be to assist the council in the maintenance and future improvement of each of the council’s burial grounds. In examining the feasibility of this proposal, this committee further suggests that council should initiate a pilot project based at Esker Cemetery, Lucan.
That the Manager will give an update on efforts to eliminate graffiti from the parks in the Lucan Electoral Area.
That the Manager will present a detailed report for discussion, and following earlier representations, on what new facilities are been sourced by this Council that would provide the residents of the Lucan area with additional outdoor recreational and sporting opportunities that are also less conducive to anti-social behaviour and vandalism? There are newer and more innovative such fittings for parks and open spaces that could be explored on a pilot basis, as previously stipulated in our new park between Mount Andrew’s estate and Ballyowen Lane, and that may prove to be successful and beneficial to all our people, and that are required now more than ever, and that will play a part in ensuring we have a healthier community and that will also assist in combating anti-social behaviour.
