SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

HEADED ITEM NO. 6

Bring Centre Grange Road

The Council has taken positive action with regard to bring banks in the County and CCTV has been installed at bring bank sites to reduce negative use. A number of fines have been issued and Grange Road site has yielded the first positive result in court with evidence obtained from the CCTV. Fines of €500 and more have issued with costs of €500.

In addition to the enforcement regime, the recent review of the Cleansing Service will include a significantly improved service to all bring bank sites within the county.

Discussions with the OPW are ongoing regarding relocation of the bring banks into the adjacent park. These discussions include possible alternatives for a definitive solution at the site. Since the last meeting these discussions have continued in a positive way and it is expected that the matter will be concluded in the coming weeks. Members will be notified as soon as there is an outcome. The concerns of the Members and local residents are at all times borne in mind.
