That the Chief Executive provides an update as to what estates in the Lucan and Palmerstown/Fonthill electoral areas are to see tree maintenance undertaken in the year 2020.
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 SDCC 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.
