QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"To ask the Manager to revisit the lane-way between Templeogue wood and Cypress Grove Sth which was the subject of a recent clean up. I would suggest that it would be a good idea to treat the weeds etc. with an appropriate weed killer rather then just cutting them. I believe that in the long run this would be a more cost effective method?"

REPLY:

Environmental Services provides a service on laneways whereby illegally dumped items are inspected and removed and the areas cleaned.  The service provided by environment on laneways does not include the removal of weeds, nor does it include the cutting back of overhanging trees and hedges .  The request for removal of weeds from this laneway will be referred to the road maintenance section for their attention, as this would appear to be an issue regarding the maintenance of the laneway surface rather than a cleansing issue.
