MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, April 07, 2009

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor T. McDermott

"That the Manager report on the success or otherwise of the initiatives presented at the January TRAC(2) meeting to clean up the area adjacent to the Residential Caravan Park at Cherryfield and the impact of the steps taken to avoid a recurrance."

REPORT:

To date, the Environmental Services Department has not received any evidence from the CCTV unit operated and monitored by the Housing Department with which to issue fines or pursue prosecutions

While caretaking staff at the site have been monitoring the area and cleaning up the immediate environs of the site, the substantive clean-up of the parkland is being jointly arranged by the Parks and Housing Departments and will be carried out in the coming week.  Additional CCTV is being arranged by the Housing Department to cover existing blind spots and thus facilitate improved monitoring and the clean up is now being timed to coincide with this.  The Anti-Graffiti Team is ready to completely re-paint the exterior walls of the site upon completion of this clean up.

The Housing Department have contacted all residents to advise of their obligations under their Licence Agreements with regard to the proper disposal of domestic refuse and have warned that any residents found to be dumping material may have their licence terminated.
