QUESTION NO 6.

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the replacement of doors and letter boxes in the communal units in Balgaddy detailing the addresses where work has taken place, and the addresses and time line for the remaining works?"

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 doors at 132-134, 90-96 and 66-72 Foxdene Avenue, with a more vandal resistant type door. The doors have been monitored from installation and it appear to be holding up well.

Another two communal areas have now been selected at 26-32 Meile an Ri Drive and 45-47 Meile an Ri Road. 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 be subject to available funding.
