MEETING OF TERENURE/RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor M. Ardagh

"That the Manager examine the trees on Glendown Lawn which were planted by the residents many years ago but have now grown to great height, in some cases over 30 feet, which now have an adverse effect on the street lighting. There is also a problem with magpie nests in the trees causing damage to cars. The residents believe that the poor street lighting has reduced security on the road and cars have been interferred with. Could the Council examine the situation to see if the trees could be severely pruned, additional lighting provided and the nests removed from the trees."

REPORT:

Glendown Lawn will be considered for tree pruning as part of the 2007/2008 Arboricultural Programme subject to the confirmed agreement of the residents of the area. The Arboricultural Programme will be ongoing from November 2007 to March 2008.
