COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, November 08, 2011
MOTION NO. 2
MOTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave
"That the Manager give a report on what stage the extension on the house currently under construction on the Cherryfield site and could he report on any progress been made on fly tipping in the area."
REPORT:
Construction on the house at Bay 6 Cherryfield Residential Caravan Park has yet to be commenced, and a full report of the proposal is being presented as a Headed Item Report to todays meeting.
A number of initiatives have been undertaken in relation to fly tipping and general dumping around the area of the RCP;
- Letters have issued to all residents to inform them that they are responsible for the correct disposal of domestic refuse. Following the withdrawl of refuse collection services by the Council earlier this year, all residents have engaged the services of a private contractor to collect household refuse.
- All residents have been advised that disposal of commercial refuse or the carrying out of any commercial enterprise on the site is not allowed and warning letters will issue if any resident is carrying out such work.
- A number of CCTV cameras have been erected adjacent to the site and this has led to a significant reduction in the volume of refuse being dumped at the open space adjacent to the site.
- A major clean up in conjunction with Parks Department and Housing Staff was carried out and the Caretaker for the site regularly cleans up within and around the site.
