QUESTION NO.7

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the dumping/littering in the laneway at the rear of *details provided* which has been reported on several occasions; to ask if the business at this premises are responsible for cleaning this up and monitoring the location, and if not who is?"

REPLY:

To date in 2016, the Enforcement and Licensing section have not received any complaints of illegal dumping or littering at this location.

In 2015, three (3) complaints were received regarding the storing of bins to the rear of the premises.  Each complaint was investigated at the time, with the Litter Warden reporting that there was no litter issue emanating from the bins. 

The Litter Warden continues to monitor this laneway in line with normal patrols, and if breaches of the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended, are observed the appropriate enforcement action will be taken.
