COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, June 18, 2012

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"To ask the Manager to report on the cleaning programme in place for the gullies and shores in the Orwell, WORK and wider Templeogue, Greenhills area?"

REPLY:

The cleaning of the gullies is carried out by a private contractor on the Council's behalf.  Gullies are cleaned at least annually in accordance with the contractor's works  programme although where particular problematic gullies increased required attention, the frequency of cleaning is increased.  There are a number of gullies in the area in question that are cleaned four times a year due to flooding concerns and these paticular gullies have been cleaned twice to date in 2012, once in early February and again in early June.

The Council is currently awaiting the Contractor's programme for roadsweeping and gulley cleaning for July to December 2012 and this information will be made available via the Council's Works Schedule.
