MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this committee calls on the removal of all items from outisde the Supersavers shop in Village following Tidy Towns adjudacators comment that ''The Steering Wheel has a fine traditional shopfront which contrasts with the adjacent Supersavers premises which has a totally cluttered frontage to the extent that the shop’s name is not visible.'' - Can a rule be brought in that all shops must apply to South Dublin County Council before putting items outside there shop/Buisness?"

REPORT:

Staff in the Traffic Section spoke to the owner of this shop and another store in Clondalkin Village recently and requested them to remove goods that were impinging on the public footpath along the shopfront as it was hazardous and unsightly.

A follow up inspection will be carried out to see if the shop owners are complying with the instruction.  Action under Section 71 of the Road Act 1993 does not extend to dealing with items suspended from the shopfront.
