MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

"To ask the Chief Executive what plans are in place for the maintenance of the green areas on Whitechurch Road? Some are unkempt and dumping hotspots, especially where the path is hidden from view of main road?"

REPLY:

The small open space areas in question along Whitechurch Road are cut on a fortnightly basis during the grass cutting season, they are also cleaned ahead of grass cutting taking place.  This programme will resume in 2017 once the grass cutting season starts up again.  These areas will be examined over the winter months to determine what additional clean up works, if any, are required in order to improve their appearance.  The issue of illegal dumping in the area will be brought to the attention of the Council's litter warden section.
