MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 09, 2017

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for increased litter bin provision in the vicinity of the new playground in Tymon Park, and to make a statement on the matter?

REPLY:

"A recent review of litter bins has concluded and at present there are 122 litter bins in public parks.

As per the litter bin protocol contained in the Litter Management Plan 2015 - 2019 these are in general provided in the large regional parks, with some exceptions. The current provision is believed to be adequate for the most part.

An issue with the provision of bins at the Tymon Park / Castletymon Road car park has been identified and this will be addressed in the 2017 work programme.  Similarly, given the development and opening of the new playground in Tymon Park (north), Public Realm will examine this request and determine the need for increased provision at this location."
