QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"Last month I requested the location litter bins (emphasis on the plural) at the new bus stops on the Firhouse Road next to the junction with Ballyroan Road/Butterfield Avenue, thank you this has been partly done. However in seeking 'bins plural' I had hoped that bins would be placed at/near each of the bus shelters.  The bin placed last month has worked well in so far as there is no longer any rubbish at this location.  At an earlier RAC in reply to a request by me for more bins I was told that the Council had plenty of bins in stock and were seeking to know further locations, why then was there not a bin put on the opposite side of the road at the out-ward bus shelter?"

REPLY:

A total of three new bins have been installed recently at bus shelters along the Firhouse Road, one at the junction with Butterfield Avenue and two close to the bus shelters at Ballyboden St. Endas sports grounds. This was part of a programme to install new bins across the County which is now close to completion. Unfortunately, a number of additional bins will need to be purchased to cover extra sites identified in recent weeks. This will be done as soon as additional new bins are bought into stock.
