COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, December 01, 2008

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor S. Crowe

"To ask the manager will he give an updated report on the unacceptable conditions and facilities at St Aidans Halting Site beside Brookview Estate?"

REPLY:

The facilities at St. Aidan's RCP are provided to an acceptable standard by the Council, facilites include access to all public services on each bay. With regard to maintenance of this site, there have been issues in respect of contractors refusing to attend the site  to carry out maintenance because of anti-social behaviour.  A meeting was held in the Brookview Enterprise Centre on the 11th November 2008, which all residents were invited to attend and which was attended by staff of the Traveller Accommodation Unit and the Maintenace Division of Housing Department.  It was agreed at the meeting that in reference to future maintenance works on individual bays a specific appointment would be made between the resident and the contractor to carry out the required maintenance and residents would ensure they were present while the work was being carried out.

Any outstanding requests for maintenance issues are being addressed along these lines and further meetings with the residents are scheduled to prevent any further incidences of problems for contractors in carrying out works on the site.
