QUESTION NO. 2
QUESTION: Councillor C. Keane
"To ask the Manager for a full report on the bring bank at Grange Road taking into consideration all the representations made to council on this issue over the last number of years (a) to state what was the result of the negotiations with the OPW re location of this bank into park (b) noting there is another bring bank in close proximity to this one to report on relocation. (c) I want informed previously that an underground bank would be considered ? could I have an update on this (d) the upkeep/cleansing/upgrade of the site is totally unsatisfactory - the site is covered in broken glass and surface of area a mess (e) noise level is unbearable in adjacent residences.(f) report re provision of CCTV on this site?"
REPLY:
Arrangements are being made for the installation of appropriate bring banks at the location following agreement in principle with the OPW for the incorporation of the existing site into their grounds. The Environmental Services Department are in the process of identifying funding for these works.
The area of the bottle bank in question is regularly inspected and cleaned as required and it is not considered that the noise level is anything out of the ordinary at this location. CCTV provision is not considered necessary at this site as the level of littering would not justify the installation of cameras and associated costs but this can be reviewed on a regular basis if the position changes.
