MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"As a step towards improving facilities in Dodder Valley Park, could public litter bins be considered at all the car parks and pedestrian entrances to the park"

REPORT:

"A number of litter bins have been provided at entrances to the Dodder Valley Park in the past 18 months, at Old Bawn Road and Seskin View Road.  This current proposal to provide public litter bins at all the car parks and pedestrian entrances to the park has been examined.  It should be noted that, for example, there are 10 pedestrian entrances to the park from the Seskin View, New Bawn and Bawnville housing areas all within a short distance of each other.  While it is considered necessary to provide additional litter bins at this park, it is not considered necessary to provide a bin at each of these pedestrian entrances.  A survey of entrances and car parks at the park will be carried out to determine where the provision of litter bins is necessary and a report on the matter will be presented to the area committee when completed."
