QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the following requests for installation to litters bins at:

• Ballyowen Road, outside Larkfield estate approaching the Grangecastle Road junction;

• Griffeen Avenue, opposite Di Bella restaurant;

• Griffeen Valley Park playspace?"

REPLY:

All 3 locations were inspected having regard to the Litter Bin Replacement Protocol as set out in the Litter Management Plan 2015-2019. The findings of each location are set out below.

• Ballyowen Road, outside Larkfield estate approaching the Grangecastle Road junction: This location is not considered to be suitable as it does not facilitate safe access for maintenance vehicle. 
• Griffeen Avenue, opposite Di Bella restaurant: This location has been inspected on a number of occasions and there was not a significant litter issue problem present to warrant the installation of a bin. The shopping facility in the vicinity of Di Bella restaurant is well serviced with bins and there are bins already located within walking distance of this location. 
• Griffeen Valley Park playspace: This location has been inspected on a number of occasions and there was not a significant litter issue problem present to warrant the installation of a bin. This location will be kept under review and should the intensity of use increase and a litter problem develops a bin will be considered if required. In the meantime the area will continue to be litter picked.
