MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

MOTION NO. 25

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"To ask the Manager for a report on the operation of the green machine in the Palmerston Area and to explain why the Village has been left without a service on numerous days since well before Christmas and to indicate how the service will be maintained into the future."

REPORT:

The Green Machine operative for the Palmerston Area was absent from work for a number of weeks in December due to illness.  The operative has since retired from the Council.  The deployment of staff within the Public Realm Section is currently being examined with a view to fulfilling the duties undertaken by the Green Machine operative.  It is hoped to have the matter resolved shortly and be in a position to provide an appropriate level of service to ensure that the footpaths in Palmerston Village are kept clean.
