MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 27, 2015

QUESTION NO. 20

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"To ask the Chief Executive can the small wall on Brookview Green between the 3 properties and the old folks home be removed and bollards be put in its place? The area behind the wall is a black spot for illegal dumping and lighting fires, as a result the fire brigade are having to be called on numerous occasions."

REPLY:

The wall in question is a low stub wall which acts as an effective obstacle and deterrent against joy-riding on the green space at Brookview Green and Brookview Avenue. It is felt that removal of this wall and it's replacement with bollards would present a less effective obstacle to this and would ultimately be detrimental to the area. For this reason the Council's Public Realm section does not propose to remove the wall at this time.
