That the Chief Executive install three public bins into Greenhills Park early in the New Year.
This park is well utilised by the local community with people enjoying the public green space to walk their dog, to play football and run. The community works hard at ensuring litter is picked up regularly and I also note the hard work of South Dublin County Council staff and the work they do within the park.
The community cannot understand why public bins are not provided for in this green space. We want to encourage park users to be responsible with their rubbish and providing a few public bins would do just that.
We would also ask the Chief Executive to consider providing belly bins and/or segregated bins to allow for the separation of recyclable and general waste.
This committee requests that the Chief Executive conduct a public consultation with residents in an effort to address the ongoing issues in relation to illegal dumping and overgrown weeds in the Dublin 12 laneways.
Such a consultation ought to consider every possibility up to and including the possible installation of CCTV at the entryways to lanes.
That this committee requests more frequent weekly inspections by Litter Wardens and Waste Enforcement Officers for the Dublin 12 laneways.
The announcement in December of funding of €20,000 to be provided to each local authority for the provision of sensory rooms (and associated equipment, toys and assistive technology) for children with additional needs is to be welcomed. That this committee asks the Chief Executive to confirm that libraries within our electoral areas are included if appropriate and to request an outline of any plan on this project.
