CORRESPONDENCE
(a) Correspondence dated 11th December 2020 from the Department of Social Protection in response to Motion 7 from the October Council meeting (Community Employment Supervisors)
Given that broken glass continues to be a significant issue along the underpass system has the Chief Executive give consideration as to what steps should be taken to help alleviate the issue? Signage, potentially looking at the installation of CCTV (given it is a non-residential area) and youth workers engagement as some examples. I cycle this route frequently, and pedestrians, cyclists, dog walkers and those with small children have all reported to me their frustration that this issue is not being addressed adequately. Many have told me that they have stopped using the underpass system because of how bad it has got. This is unacceptable when so much public money has been spent on it and when we should be doing our utmost to encourage more people to walk and cycle. When I brought this up in October 2020, I received the very briefest of replies to say that this is managed by M50 Concessions on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and to report it to them. They may clear the glass up (though often not until the following week), however, they are not taking any proactive steps to help resolve the issue. Can I please ask that SDCC work with them to help address this important problem?
