MOTION NO. 274

MOTION: Councillor M. Murphy

The issuing of T2 licences for the location of utility boxes should be co-ordinated in order to prevent the proliferation of these boxes at certain strategic locations.

Co-signed by Cllr. B. Leech and Cllr. K. Mahon.

REPORT:

The content of the motion is recommended. It is considered that the topic and intention is similar to Item no. 45323 which is recommended to be adopted by the Chief Executive.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the motion is adopted with amendment to correspond with item no. 45323 as follows:

To actively discourage the proliferation of above ground utility boxes throughout the County and promote soft planting around existing ones and any new ones that cannot be installed below the surface with a view to a much lessened impact on the surrounding aesthetics of an area.
