MOTION: Councillor J. Lahart

"That the Manager update this Committee with regard to the following derelict site issues raised by this Committee in the last twelve months:

Augustinian Roundabout, Taylor's Lane

Derelict site on Scholarstown Road adjacent to Woodfield."

REPORT:

An inspection pursuant to the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act l990, was carried out on the site adjacent to the roundabout at the Augustinians, Ballyboden on the 12th June 20l3. The lands in question are in the ownership of SDCC, having been acquired for road improvement works. The Council's Roads Maintenance Section is currently completing its annual roads maintenance programme on completion of which the Roads Department will undertake necessary repair works, to include repair of bollards and removal of rock boulders from the site.

An inspection of the site on Scholarstown Road adjacent to Woodfield was carried out on the 21st March 2013, when the site was deemed to be non derelict, pursuant to the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act 1990.  This area is patrolled regularly by the Litter Warden and during the most recent inspection, on the 3rd September 2013, no dumping was visible.  The area will continue to be monitored by the Litter Warden and where necessary the appropriate enforcement action will be taken under the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended.
