MOTION NO. 22

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the footpath and passageway along the R148 from the City Boundary to Kennelsfort Road junction be cleared of grass, debris, leaves and overhanging shrubbery and maintained to a level that complies with health and safety standards and is ascetically and environmentally acceptable."

REPORT:

The main area of concern on the Palmerston section of R148 footpath extends from the Oval to the pedestrian footbridge at Kennelsfort Road Upper.  The Councils Road Sweeping contractor (Oxigen) visited this location on January 19th and removed the leaves and debris off the footpath.  The vegetation encroaching on the footpath was pruned back late last year.  A recent inspection of the footpath showed it to be fully accessible with no obstacles such as leaves or encroaching vegetation present.
