To ask the Manager to report on what efforts are being made, and what agreement has been made by the domestic refuse collectors, to return empty bins to the pavement?  More and more bins are being left on the road which is causing a threat to safety of pedestrians and motorists who often have to walk and drive between empty bins on the road, and where residents, including senior citizens, often have to go onto busy roads to retrieve empty bins.

To ask the Manager to progress the provision of an engraved granite stone at the entrance to Oak Court Estate as I requested some time ago which would both prevent motorists from parking on the grass margin and enhance this area which is also the gateway to the Community School and Glenaulin Park. This would complement the good work of the residents who are currently fighting an uphill battle to maintain their estate to a high standard?

To ask the Manager if he would install the litter bin at Oak Court Grove as I was promised in January as this is an area frequented by pupils from the local Community School during break and it is both bad training for them not to have a bin for their litter and a hassle for local residents who have to regularly clean up the area?
