QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on assessment of the requests by residents of both Weston Park and Dodsboro for increased provision of litter bins in the general area of Dodsboro, Weston, Old Celbridge Road & Millstream Road."

(Membersreps 1183976 & 1156717 refer)

REPLY:

There are a total of 6 public bins and 2 private bin on the section of road from Woodview Estate entrance to Dodsboro open space. 2 of the bins are recent installations and were provided to replace those removed due to wear and tear. Details of the locations are as follows:

  1. At entrance to Woodview Estate on corner beside Lloyds Pharmacy
  2. At Dodsboro dentist (Installed in 2016)
  3. Beside Post Box outside Dodsboro shops (Installed in 2015)
  4. Outside Spar (2 private bins)
  5. At bus stop beside Woodview Heights opposite Laundrette
  6. At both Dodsboro open spaces (1 installed in 2016, 1 existing)

The bin outside the Lundrette in Dodsboro was removed because it was been used for the disposal of waste. There are no proposals to replace this bin given the presence of existing bins in the area.

The area around Weston, Celbridge Road and Millstream Road was inspected and in general was found to be relatively clean. There was an accumulation of litter around the steps which connect Celbridge Road with the N4 footpath and it is proposed to install a bin in the vicinity of these steps. A litter pick of the area will also be arranged.

The bin which was removed from the bus stop opposite McDonalds was removed because it was broken. This bin will be replaced.
