MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive  to provide a report on the replacement of doors and intercoms in Balgaddy including when the work will commence, when it will be finished and the number of doors/intercoms to be replaced and the cost to the Council."

REPLY:

There are 22 communal doors serving the housing units at Balgaddy.  Vandalism of these doors has been an ongoing problem.  To address this issue the Council recently replaced the communal door at 132-134 Foxdene Avenue with a more vandal resistant type door.  The door has been monitored from installation and it appears to be holding up well.

Another two communal areas have now been selected (90-96 and 66-72).  These doors are currently ready to be fitted and the work will be undertaken when all the tenants have been given keys.  As soon as these two communal doors are installed we will select another two doors for replacement.  It is proposed to identify the doors that are subject to the most vandalism in this regard. 

There are 22 doors in the area and it is hoped to replace them all over the coming months.  The cost of each door is €1,350.  This work will of course be subject to available funding.
