MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor J. Lahart

"That the manager report on:-

1. Whether or not it is planned to restore the original number of litter bins on Firhouse Road and adjacent prior to the commencement of the roadworks?

2. If it is planned to empty the existing bins on a more regular basis?"

REPORT:

There were nine litter bins on the Firhouse Road.  Seven bins are in situ and two bins were removed by the Contractor and will be reinstated by the Council Cleansing Section.

There were eight bins in total on the Ballycullen Road, including two bins located in the Woodstown Housing Estate.  Three of these bins were removed by the Contractor and will be reinstated by the Council Cleansing section.

The bins in the general Firhouse Ballycullen Scholarstown area are emptied at least three times weekly (this includes the Firhouse road)

There are a couple of bins in the area that overflow from time to time due to the disposal of domestic rubbish by individuals. The staff make an effort to empty these bins daily but this is subject to them maintaining the frequency of service through the route.
