MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"The residents in Arthur Griffith Park have requested a clean up along with the removal of overgrowth in Griffeen Park thus stopping extreme anti- social behaviour occurring behind this overgrowth, insuring this activity will be deterred because they would not be hidden behind it."

REPORT: 

"The Arthur Griffith boundary with Griffeen Valley Park was inspected recently and while there was little to suggest that there is extreme anti-social behaviour taking place there is a significant problem with dumped items being thrown over boundary walls into the park. This waste consists of recyclable materials, non-recyclable materials and green waste. The scale of the problem requires significant intervention to remove the dumped items together with tree crews to facilitate access. A clean-up has been listed for undertaking after the restrictions on the pruning of vegetation have been lifted later in the year. In the meantime if any information is available regarding those responsible for dumping this should be forwarded to the Litter Wardens for their attention.

Where incidences of extreme anti-social behaviour occur, these should be reported to An Garda Síochána who have the powers to enforce the law under the relevant Criminal Justice and Public Order Acts."
