MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE 2

QUESTION No. 6

QUESTION: Councillor J. Neville

"To ask the Manager to outline Council policy in relation to the removal of grass verges outside of residential developments with specific regard to a request by a Tallaght resident *details supplied for such a removal at the residents expense and which it is my understanding the Council refused, even though the resident is a senior citizen and finds it difficult to maintain the grass verge in question?"

REPLY.

 It is not Council policy to concrete in grass verges. It is also illegal to park on verges and so the Council could neither encourage or condone this policy. Having said that, if a resident is experiencing particular hardship with regard to the verge, we will endeavour to facilitate their predicament within the scope of our remit.
