MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"To ask the Parks Manager when will the work on the laneway, and the hedgerow, between Palmerstown Ave and the N4, and leading from Kennelsfort Road onto Palmerstown Ave, (as agreed at the local meeting in 2011)  be completed to the standard promised.  It is now much more overgrown and attracts a lot of fly-tipping especially under the extensive undergrowth?" 

REPLY:

The works as identified at the site meeting in May 2010 were undertaken as agreed.  This included the repair of the wooden railing at the bus stop on the N4, the cutting back of vegetation from the path leading from the lane to the N4 and re-landscaping the area in the vicinity of Kennelsfort Road entrance to the lane.

Despite the works undertaken, fly-tipping continues to be a problem.  This matter will be raised with the Litter Wardens for attention.  Further pruning works are currently ongoing in an effort to tackle this issue and it is proposed to continue these works as part of the 2013 Arboricultural Programme.
