MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That the Manager installs a 24 hour monitoring CCTV sign at the green opposite the Bawnogue shops, between the Enterprise Centre and Lealand Road. Can the Council get recent footage to convict local residents who have been seen to dump illegally here

REPORT:

The green area between the Enterprise Centre and Lealand Road has experienced considerable dumping;  the Council's Litter Warden has reported that most of the dumped material is green waste with occasional domestic waste present.  No evidence to date has been found by the Litter Warden to support prosecution under the Litter Pollution Act l997.  The area has recently been cleaned by the Council's Public Realm staff.

The Council has only two rapid deployment CCTV cameras available which are rotated county wide on a 3 monthly cycle to acute litter blackspots.  The area in question will be listed for consideration for CCTV .  No evidence has been obtained from these cameras to date to support enforcement action under the Litter Pollution Act l997.  The site subject of this motion will be listed for CCTV coverage.   To date no evidence has been obtained from the CCTV footage to support enforcement action under the Litter Pollution Act l997.

The Council actively encourages members of the public to provide information in relation to litter polluters so that appropriate action can be taken.
