MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, October 18, 2010

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

That this Committee calls on the Manager to  ensure that for future bin collections in this Committee area, where the collection day falls on a Bank Holiday Monday, he will arrange to have a collection either on the Saturday or Tuesday adjacent and if he will inform residents of the arrangement. 

REPORT:

As advised previously, Council management had proposed an arrangement for bank holiday collections as part of a general restructuring plan that was regrettably rejected by Unions in June of this year.

In line with previously stated committments on this issue, a meeting is now scheduled for Wednesday, 20th October between HR/Environmental Services and representatives of the refuse collection staff at which the arrangements for collections on/in lieu of the Bank Holiday will be discussed with a view to providing customers with a satisfactory arrangement.  Any agreed arrangement will be notified to the Elected Members and customers by way of text message, e-mail, web updates, twitter etc.
