COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 27, 2015

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor C. King

That this Committee asks the Chief Executive to arrange for some planting at the hedgerow between 42-44 Kiltipper Drive onto Kiltipper Rd. Since a number of utility boxes were installed in the vicinity of the planted hedgerow there is a number of gaps in the planting which ruin the aesthetics of the hedgerow. Filling in the gaps would finish it off to the satisfaction of residents in the area.

REPORT:

The Council's Public Realm section will carry out some infill planting as requested to close the gaps where possible in the existing hedgerow at this location.  It should be noted that there are a number of locations where sections of concrete slab have been constructed which take up the full width of the roadside margin, at the location of the utility boxes themselves and around inspection chambers for example, and it will not be possible to carry out any planting at such locations for this reason.
