COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Committee meets with local residents in the Bawnogue Area with a view to erecting a number of "24 Hour Litter Monitoring Signs" in the green patch between the Estates (Deansrath, Melrose and Lindisfarne) and the Grand Canal.

REPORT:

The Litter Warden patrols the estates Deansrath, Melrose and Lindisfarne including the open space along the Grand Canal regularly and where evidence is found fines are issued under the Litter Pollution Act 1997.

These areas will be added to the list of locations for consideration as possible locations for a mobile camera depending on resources available.

Where there is an ongoing problem of illegal dumping and littering in any area, local residents are urged and encouraged to support the Council in taking appropriate enforcement action by making reports to the Litter Warden for investigation and by providing evidence and testifying in court either individually or as a collective group of residents.

It is not the policy of South Dublin County Council to erect "24 Hour Litter Monitoring Signs" throughout the County.
