SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"That the Chief Executive cut the grass verges outside the houses in Woodford Grove & Monksfield Court. The grass is too long and has not been cut in years. Rats are hiding in the grass verges."

REPORT:

The Council cuts roadside verges on district distributor roads, main roads and outside public parks and open spaces as part of grass cutting operations. The Council does not cut roadside verges to the front or side of houses in housing estates. The cutting of grass outside the houses in Woodford Grove and Monksfield Court would be a matter for residents. The grass verges at the above locations have been inspected and there was no evidence of rats present.
