MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 27, 2016

QUESTION NO 6.

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive to outline measure being taken to tackle illegal dumping blackspots in Lucan, including at the Hayden’s Lane/Hansted entrance to Griffeen Valley Park and the Ballyowen Centre bring-banks?"

REPLY:

"CCTV & audio device technology is currently in place at the Ballyowen Centre bring-banks. The Council's Contractor previously assessed Hayden's Lane/Hansted entrance to Griffeen Valley Park for suitability of audio device, but deemed this area as extremely high risk for the equipment. We can request a further assessment of this area in the coming months.

Audio devices are installed in different location for a three month period at a time in order to raise awareness and reduce dumping. Previous finds show an 81% reduction in illegal dumping at Ballyowen Centre bring-banks once the audio device was installed."
