QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask for increased monitoring by the litter warden of the section of Tandy's Lane from Meadowview Grove/Dodsboro Road to The Paddocks Adamstown, in an effort to prevent further fly tipping/illegal dumping on the site?"

REPLY:

This area is patrolled regularly and at a minimum, once a week, by the Council's Litter Warden Team. The location was inspected on two (2) occasions in the past week and was found to be relatively litter free.

The Council received thirteen (13) complaints of dumping/littering at this location in 2014, which resulted in the issuing of four fines, pursuant to the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended (the Act).  To date in 2015, one (1) complaint has been received and two (2) fines have been issued under the Act.
