QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

"To ask the Manager to state how many notices have been served by the Litter Wardens on the owners of the shopping centre on Sundale Park owned by Kelland Homes since it opened for business to date, and how much in fines have charged and paid to date in respect of the systematic littering and lack of cleansing of the shopping centre and its environs?"

REPLY:

To date 40 litter fines and 12 warning notices are recorded for offences located in Sundale, with nine of the fines issued to traders in Sundale Shopping Centre of which six fines stand paid to date in the sum of €750.  One notice has recently been issued to the shopping centre owners which resulted in some improvements in the condition of the vicinity of the shopping centre but there are wider issues relating to the condition of the area including schoolchildren littering, illegal dumping and anti-social behaviour related damage which need to be addressed in tandem with any enforcement action against local shops.
