QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor J. Neville

"To ask the Manager to identify a long-term solution to the issue of anti-social activity at *details supplied , which appears to be exasperated by the position of a particular entrance to Bancroft Park immediately adjacent to this house?"

REPLY:

This entrance to Bancroft Park from Castlepark was upgraded as part of the Parks Works Programme in 2006.  An entrance had been in previous existence at this location.  The Parks Department has no record of complaints of anti-social behaviour in respect of this entrance although there is evidence of illegal dumping and littering and of bonfire activity close by within Bancroft Park.  During normal park opening hours, incidences of anti-social behaviour should be reported to the Park Ranger service at Tymon Park.  The Parks Department can make a contact mobile telephone number available to the resident.  Outside of normal park opening hours, anti-social behaviour should be reported for the attention of the local Gardai.  The Parks Department will also arrange for a clean-up of the area around this entrance within the next few weeks.
