HEADED ITEM NO. 13

HEADED ITEM: H. Hogan

"Walls in Russell Downs, Meadows and Grove"

REPLY:

"A new Russell Square Residents Association was set up in December 2016 and the Estate Management Team have been assisting them in a number of ways.  Initially it was agreed that the following would be prioritised.

• Paint provided to Residents Association to paint over graffiti March 2017
• Community Clean up completed April 2017. Bags collected.
• Plants, Shrubs , gloves, bags , paper pickers spades provided to Res Assoc March 2017
• Arrangements made between Estate Man and Probation Services to further paint estate. April 2017

The request for railings on 8 foot perimeter walls was discussed and deferred until after the other items were ongoing. At this stage it is not recommended to provide railings on what are very large walls. The question of stability and safety if someone was to climb on them will have to be considered. It is felt that other means should be looked at and discussed with the residents such as Anti-climb paint etc."
