Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor G. O'Connell
Responsibility:
Michael McAdam, David Fennell

The cleaning of laneways, and/or dumping on laneways, continues to be a real issue for residents of Palmerstown. The deal was that the laneways would be cleaned every six WEEKS. More recently, I was informed in reply to my LAC question, that it is every six MONTHS. Six monthly is unacceptable to residents who use the laneways regularly. Some laneways have not been cleaned in eighteen months and longer. This Committee requests that a realistic schedule for the cleaning of laneways be brought forward and that each lane is identified in an accompanying map and be regularly reported to this committee and that the provision of CCTV be examined and a report brought to this committee within the next 3 months.
