To ask the manager, from the annual cost of removing Illegally dumped material, is it possible to provide an estimate cost of removing discarded bulky household items?
To ask the Chief Executive to install a number of "ducks crossing" at suitable locations in Lucan village, before the breeding season, including at new requested pedestrian crossing areas, given the large number of relatively tame ducks living in this area historically, and the safety issues facing ducks crossing with ducklings every year, especially in light of a number of reported incidences of ducks being killed by drivers locally, who then carelessly drove away, and also a recent incident abroad where a man lost his life helping ducks to cross the road. There is precedent in other Councils in Ireland and such signs are widespread in the UK?
That the Council clarifies its policy on the clearing of footpaths and cycleways blocked by vegetation and explains why it appears to have done nothing for months in areas such as Lucan with the public realm access routes being blocked off to walkers, cyclists, buggies and wheelchairs for weeks on end, forcing cyclists/pedestrians into each others' paths or onto verges or roads, because, notwithstanding the moratorium on some clearances due to the nesting season, there are circumstances which allow action on public safety grounds and documented evidence shows that some areas reported in July had not been done by mid September.
