MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 26, 2017

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor C. King

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to demand that Circle VHA & management company carry out a "crackdown" on illegal dumping within Deerpark Estate particularly around bin sheds and suggests that each household that requires a key to bin sheds is provided with one with a view to decreasing the problem. Keys are being withheld from some residents which many believe is adding to the problem."

REPORT:

"Circle AHB has confirmed the presence of a fulltime caretaker on site working business hours 9-5pm Monday to Friday.   Currently eleven of the twelve number bin stores are in operation  in respect of which keys have been issued to all relevant home owners with exception of a small number of individuals who are displaying high value management fee arrears.  Circle has further advised of their intention to review the position in relation to those defaulting home owners  (apartment/duplex)with a view to taking appropriate legal action.

Circle has advised that the ongoing problem of illegal dumping can be linked to home owners  (private and social who are not prepared to pay for private bin collection service. A lot of this activity allegedly takes places over the weekend. Currently there is no CCTV system in operation but Circle has advised of its intention to seek grant funding to instal a system in the near future.

Cirlce's Estate Officer together with SDCC's Housing Estate Officer and the Council's Litter Warden are working together in efforts to address the problem, specifically targetted and proactive enforcement of the Council's Litter Pollution Act."
