QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

" To ask the Chief Executive if a bin be provided at the ninth lock shopping area, opposite the old CB packaging factory?

Also what is the situation with the bin at the bus stop at Tesco on Convert Road, Clondalkin.  It seems to disappear at regular intervals?

REPLY:

Section 6 of the Litter Pollution Act 1997 outlines duties on occupiers of premises to keep the place free from litter. The Litter Warden called to the shops in question and spoke to all occupiers regarding their obligations under the Litter Bye Laws.  On the date of inspection there was no litter evident.  The Litter Warden will monitor the area, as part of his daily patrol in the Clondalkin village.

The bin on the footpath outside Tesco on Convent Road is being subjected to constant interference in the form of people rocking against it while waiting for busses. This persistent rocking resulted in the bolts becoming loose in the ground and necessitated its removal. Alternative methods of securing the bin or possibly relocating it to the opposite side of the pedestrian entrance to Tesco car park are currently being examined.
