MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor M. Devine

 That this Committee asks the Chief Executive that the Brookmount Estate be cleansed with emphasis on the following:

- Removal of refuse and debris at the Brookmount entrance- stone bearing its name.

-Grass cutting at this area and at Tymon Lane towards the M50 underpass.

-Attend to the debris- which include syringes- at the walkway from the Estate to the Basketball Arena.

- Repair of the "grey" wall at the bottom of Brookmount Rd- vandalised and neglected for years.

- Removal of weeds at the revamped Glenview roundabout.

-Provision of a litter bin at the garage walkway to allow school children dispose litter properly. 

- Removal of graffiti at the rear of the Estate.

REPORT:

Cleaning of refuse and debris around the entrance to Brookmount commenced on Friday April 24th and will be completed in the coming days.  The grass at this location will also be cut once cleaning has been completed. The grass along the pathway which leads to the M50 underpass is not in the Council’s charge and will therefore not be cut. The walkway referred to from Brookmount to the Basketball Arena has been examined for the presence of syringes and no such items have been found, however the area is due to be cleaned in the coming days. The wall referred to at the bottom of Brookmount Road has been inspected recently and found not to be in need of any repairs. This wall will be treated with cement-wash in the coming week for the purpose of removing graffiti from it. Arrangements will be made to carry out the removal of weeds at the Glenview roundabout as requested, and this will occur in conjunction with the next grass cut at this location. The request for a litter bin at the garage walkway will be examined to determine if it is necessary, and if this is the responsibility of the garage owners to provide a bin to deal with litter being generated by their premises.
