QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Manager to enhance litter management in the vicinity of Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada and Ash Park estate; including provision of a litter bin and more regular cleansing of the ditch and areas behind the wall at Griffeen Valley Park, opposite Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada?"

REPLY:

The areas in the vicinity of Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada and Ash Park estate have being kept under review since early December 2013 in relation to littering problems.  It is proposed to provide a litter bin in the vicinity of the bus stop to help alleviate the littering issues.  The bin is currently on order. 

The ditch behind the wall has been recently litter picked and bags of dumped material which had been partially covered were exposed at the time.  It was not possible to remove these items by hand and it is proposed to undertake a further cleanup of the ditch shortly with the assistance of appropriate machinery.
